It may well do, I don't know but the main ethos behind a lotus 7 replica is all about being lightweight. And you have to consider how it might handle with such a large engine up front. I can't imagine it would turn in very well and would have understeer.

I've a got a BMW v8 in a locost +4 chassis, anything's possible if you plan it all out and measure up before you start. And mine is very wide indeed due to it being a 90 degree vee and quad cam.

The 4.6 should fit but it will be a squeeze, i was origionally using a 3.5 v8, in the end i switched to a zetec as it was taking too much time / effort & cash.
