Why the B7 engine? If it was me I would be looking at a 1.8T, 2.7 biturbo, or 4.2 biturbo (These have all be transplanted before).

Sure I've heard of someone putting a B7 engine into an Esprit - try a quick google as I think there was a link to a Lotus forum.

word on the street is you cant tell the difference between a red wire with a green stripe and a blue wire with a white stripe !!!

my engine builder converted a B7 V8 to throttle bodies for a kit car, not sure what car though, will ask him next time I see him
