Well, my Fortus (Lotus Esprit with SBF) project is inching forward. I have the audi transaxle sorted out and ready, the Lotus engine and crappy Citroen transaxle are out. Now the hard part starts....
I'm wondering if anyone has a recommended source for a budget 331. I'm looking to spend $7-8K on a basic 331. Nothing special needed - some decent alloy heads, holley (I'll add injection later), good internals, distributor, no WP or ancillaries. Since this is a bastardized Lotus...which won't be worth a lot of money anyway....I'm not looking to spend $10K+ on an engine. Any recomendations?
Thanks in advance.
ps. in choosing a name it was either Fortus (I like) or Lotord (not so much...anything that sounds like "turd" isn't ideal). Or, as a friend of mine suggested, "just call it your hybrid."
