Stage 2 and a CVH 33 should see another 5-10bhp although you’re best now switching to twin choke Webers. Most common are DCOE side draughts – either 40s or 45s for more top-end power. However, these can cause space problems so the rarer DCNF down drafts are more suitable.

CVH stands for ‘Compound Valve-angle Hemispherical’ and as such featured a ‘Hemi’ type combustion chamber.

A popular conversion for the 1600 is to take it to 1905cc with cranks and rods from the 1800 CVH engine and special pistons. This is quite a complex conversion though and not just a matter of dropping the standard 1.8 crank and rods in the 1.6 block.

How big is the inlet valve on a Ford CVH?

The CVH responds very well to big inlet valves. I have my own valves made and offer 43.5mm and 45mm inlets in addition to the standard 42mm heads. Other so called “big valves” available are only 42.6 or 43mm and hardly worth fitting which is why I designed my own.
