The Esprit transmission and engine get separated and I get a look at the nastiness inside the bottom of the engine.

It's about this point where I'd be like 'Restoration or resto-mod?', and ordering the Renegade Hybrid LS kit. 😃

I really like the sound of the 4 cylinder engine so I’m hoping to make that a reality with ported heads and a ceramic ball bearing turbo. But I know of two other projects that went the LS route so it can be done.

I am selling an engine and tranny from a 1990 Lotus Esprit with 30,000km. It is in the car still and running very well.
