I think CVH is presented as not as good as Pinto because they are less powerful and don't have as many aftermarket tuning parts. But in any case rebuilding any of these engines is economically ungrounded, as a fraction of the cost would buy you a Zetec, which is a much more advanced engine, competing with a souped-up Pinto or CVH even in standard tune.

CVH offers a smoother upgrade path to Zetec, as the exhaust is on the same side (left), and probably even the right hand engine mount will fit straight on.
