Lotus Power Anyone?

[donkey]

Hi all, this is my first post, so to start with, a big HELLO!!!. I've already built a Locost several years ago and have regreted selling it ever since! So I'm now about to embark on a Roadster. I have aquired a Lotus Eclat engine and 5 speed 'box, Thinking this would be ideal running gear. Anyone had any experience with these engines? Any comments or general imfo' or input will be gratefully received!
Thanks in advance.
