Default Cvh

Looks like I've got my pack of donor bits sorted pending pickup.
This will include a 1.8cvh.
My original plan was to find a pre 95 zetec either 1.8 or 2.0 then swap for newer one if needed later. they can be hard to find though as previous threads have pointed out.

So do I stick teh CVH in for IVA. Can I be clever with the exhaust and maybe carbs, ignition and carry some of these parts over when it comes to conversion. I.e with the exhaust I could weld a new manifold plate on for the zee.
Its little things like cutting a hole in the bonnet for the CVH then needing a new bonnet or respray for fitting the zee.

I think I'll crack on with the build using thee CVH as a base, if a pre 95 zee comes up for a good price locally before I've got the manifolds etc sorted I'll swap them. I'll try and source some bike carbs that would work well with both the cvh and zee, possible???. I assume I could use the ignition system from the CVH to get it running (It's a 92 so would this be dizzy or electronic?)
