Modern Engine And Gearbox
Posted: Wed Apr 13, 2005 9:57 pm
Hi all,
I'm the owner of a +2 with a damaged 5speed box. I am considering a modern engine (Zetec?) and gearbox for the car, so I can use it daily with no worries. I know there's a Zetec kit from Spydercars, but it's awfull expensive (for me). Wouldn't it be possible to use and modify the existing/original frame to use a Zetec engine and gearbox?
I can't do the above myself, so I'm curious what a Lotus shop/person will charge for the work and parts.
Many thanks in advance,
Mark
