So I am at my dads today visiting with my girls when my dad gets a call from a friend of ours. He needs help fitting an engine in a car. I say dad, lets go, the girls can play with his dog and we can turn some wrenches when we get there. So off we go. We get there and it is a TRUE Lotus 7. This is a real one the steering wheel is even on the wrong side (its a right hand drive car). So we get the block all lined up in the engine bay and our buddy says go take a look at the carbs. I look 45 mm Solex carbs. We then find out that this motor is not the normal truck engine he is putting into this. Its a Formula Ford 1600cc with cam and big carbs. This thing is going to be a weapon when its complete. I will have to get some pics the next time I am out there.
Cheers;
