Lotus Cortina's eh Mav-hmmm-I used to go to college with a load of guys who worked for ForMoCo back in the late 60's. I of them built an E93A with a full Lotus Cortina underneath-that used to fly-for it's time anyway. I was more into VW beetles, put a 1600 Super 90 Porche engine and transaxle in one, changed the front hubs for the Porche ones as well. Engine got a bit smokey so we all went down to Autocavan who were the main dealers to enquire about replacement barrels and pistons-£40 each + another £40 for the gasket set-£200-they were having a laugh, that was a lot more than I paid for the whole car they came out of. Took the lump out and sold it to a Porche enthusiast and built a fast 1600 VW lump for the money I got for the Porche lump-4 barrel Holley carbs anyone?
