Information about this motor needed!
 

Does anyone know anything about this motor.

I have been asked to suggest a front mounted motor for a Lotus 7 look alike. I suggested this motor however very few folks know much about it. It looks like it could produce some real hp!

I know its pricey however it appears to overcome a lot of mounting problems.

Thanks a lot for any info.

Looks expensive!

Apparently the Ford Duratec 4 cyclinder combines light weight (all alloy) with easy 100hp/litre performance, and it can be a 2.3.

But I can't find any decent links to it!!

IMO, the Uk leads the way in the engines which go well in Lotus 7 replicas. Other popular engines include the Rover (too small, IMO at 1800cc) and the Vauxhaul 2 litre. The Duratec is a "new kid on the block".
