engine should be with me end of next weekish, came out of a smashed viper with 391 miles on the clock, yes just 391 miles.
engine, t56 gearbox ( the viper one is the strongest one on the market ) and all the loom/brain bits i need, with the exchange rate at the moment Ł5k and about Ł650 to ship it, and Ł1k duty/vat, so all in about Ł6650 and i have an engine with 500hp/525Ibft that is no more tuned than a 2.8i capri per cc, and has now lag, i can't wait to fit it and play.

another couple of shots of it.

at least the kit is almost all FORD, the gearbox is the same as the gt500 ford mustang, the diff is from a mustang IRS, the hubs and bits are granada cosworth, the stearing column is granada cosworth, steering rack is sierra cosworth, the only thing thats not ford is the engine, i'm sure back in the days of the original lotus 7's they were even powered by ford, oh have i just let the cat out of the bag as to what the engines going in!!!!!

Nice project

Theres an E30 in Jaegermeister colours (Orange) going about with one of these in

Talking to the guy at Rallyday (Combe) two years ago... Said he hit 170 no trouble that morning on the way there, thought he ought to slow it down a bit before he got arrested, its pretty easy to spot a bright orange car doing 170!!!
