surfingturnip Posted January 20, 2008 Report Posted January 20, 2008 would I be right in thinking that thats come out of an esprit v8 gt like this one? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Lotus-Esprit-GT-V ... dZViewItem again that thing looks evil
sierra1off Posted January 20, 2008 Author Report Posted January 20, 2008 Yes it is the same as that in the lotus esprit. I intend to get the engine built then drop the engine into the bay to see where it touches. I have measured the engine and cortina engine bay and it all looks promising Between the inner wings is 30 inches and the engine is 28 1/2 The bay is 29 inch long, and the engine is 24 The tricky bit will be the turbos, which are at the back low down. and the steering. I would love the thing to fit in between the inner wings, but if it doesnt, then i will tube chassis it.
