If you find a 94 or older zetec it wont need a cat

If you use a newer one i think it is possible with the correct mixture across the range, but cats dont like being abused so if it ran rich at some point in the revs you could ruin the cat quickly

If your cvh ran before you stripped it and it hasnt ran since it should run again!

There isnt that many things that would physically stop it turning over so im sure you can find the culprit easily enough
