I was going to write a list of extra parts and likely failures on the V6 over the I5, but I may be some time, and I'm bound to miss out a load of things.
Actually, I am thinking the V6 would be more suited to the LoTUS.SS

thanks...
Which engine did you pick? I am exactly in the same predicament... Leaning, of course, toward 20v. But still considering 2.7. If you installed the 2.7, I would be particularly interested in learning about any modifications to the oil pan or subframe.

I know its not a Lotus but it is the same principle. I'm currently swapping my Toyota MR2 zzw30 with a MK5 R32 engine and VW 6 speed gearbox Its a very compact engine and gearbox combo. Is 1cm shorter than the toyota 4 cilinder and 5 speed gearbox1360kg/600Whp Avant 0-200km/h 9sec

Thanks folks. Nice set up in the MR2.
Kelys, when you have a minute, I would really like a pic or two of the modification you made on the oil pan. I am in no hurry. I am looking to start working on this next Fall.
I am glad to hear you didn't have to modify the frame. I take it you used an 01e fwd tranny.
