Ah lotus racing engines are something different.
Hopefully a little more with lots of torque, so far it has an elan gearbox. Lots of stuff from a racing lotus cortina, well the front shock and hubs and 19 or 21mm antiroll bar. Which will make the car interesting... It also has a strut brace as I know how flimsy the front end is.
There is someone I know selling a mk1 cortina precrossflow racing car for 60k.

Id imagine that spec makes 150bhp depending on how lairy the cam is?
For a twink to be competitive it needs to make over 190bhp and there are only a few folk in Europe who are trusted to reliably build that sort of thing and because some of the race cars that need them are worth £££,£££ then they can get away with charging ££,£££.
If I were doing it again I'd do a 1500 pre xflow fo sho.
Or a G12 with a BRM V8. If someone will lend me a bazillion pounds.
