Howdy- Several months ago, I acquired a down-at-the-heels Europa autocross car- 2738R, ex-Steve Rogers. Anybody who knows the car and has some history on it would tickle me to death if they'd get in touch.
It was sans engine at the time I bought it- sacrificed for a Royale RP4. I'm in the process of building a steel-crank dry sump tall block with a John McCoy stage 3+ Weber conversion head. I imagine it'll get some track-day use, hill-climbing & autocrossing, but mostly I'm building it 'cause I've wanted a Lotus race car since Memorial Day, 1965, and doggone it, I'll have one or go broke in the attempt. I already went single over it. Hopefully, it won't make the e-Type jealous, too.
It's currently sporting a 352 transaxle. Anybody have any experience trying to hold one of these together at 160+ HP?
Anybody with a similar affliction who'd like to commiserate, berate, or advise, feel free to jump in.
Cheers,
Craig Bolton
