I had a Series 1 Lotus Esprit (weighing just a tad more than this car) with a period Lotus Prepared by Claudius Buick/Rover 215 transplant... even with only 220hp or so it was an excellent performer.
The (stock Citroen) transaxle was at the torque limit or I would have considered dropping an LSx into it... and changing transaxles would have required some significant engineering (it had inboard disc brakes, etc) not to mention purchase of a suitable replacement.
Given the historic nature of the car (only 15 made) I decided to leave it alone... and sell it to move on to something a bit quicker...
