It might, if you remove the oil cooler and engine tin it should just squeeze through but I would be concerned about the rear beam on the lift, it looks in the way.

Lotus,

The engine without catalytic converter, muffler, and engine metal sheets needs about 31" width clearance. With the catalytic converter installed, it would be very difficult to get the engine thru the 32.5" opening. I am assuming that you could still move the car forward (6") to help clear the lift's cross bar shown in the picture. Keep us posted.
