thanx for the reply, Calsifer99

I bought the car with engine installed already

I researched this swap, and Gm devision over in Brazil, and UK, have these lotus engines in them

kind of like a JDM version for N.A. built toyotas

now the only problem I have is idk what lotus engine is in it ;so if I need parts, I have to remove and bring in parts to match them up

thanx again
