Jon,
The cvh was rwd in the sierra. It doesnt need converting unless you have a fwd version.
The one I used was a 1.8 it was running a manifold for twin 40's all ready and had the factory electronic ignition. This I have been told will work well on a zetec running carbs, worth a thought. Although it came with the 5speed im sure the lotus 4 will fit.
After fitting it im thinking of putting one in my spare plus 2.
Internet says 91bhp. I think with a bit of work it could be around big valve bhp but with more torque across a much wider rev range.
