    Default Lotus Twin Cam

    I have had a couple of requests about selling my Twin Cam separate from my Brabham project. This engine is freshly rebuilt, all steel bottom end, built more for reliability than max horsepower.


    Lotus Twin Cam race engine, 170HP. New forged JE pistons, plateau honed bores, steel piston rings, coated main and rod bearings, steel main caps, line bored, polished steel forged crank, new Carillo steel rods, race cams ,valves and springs, titanium retainers, light weight buckets, aluminum custom dry sump pan, updated cartridge type water pump. Dual Weber's, 40 DCOE's. Not run since refresh, done by P & M MotorSport out of Colorado.

    $17,500 Pm or email serious inquiries.

    ring widths:
    compression ratio
    flywheel/clutch? details:
    cam mfgr/grind:
    crank pins: std or ground under?
    who did the original build/porting:

    crank bolts: #/size/pins?
    not familiar with term: "plateau honed" (used a honing plate?) would you expand.....


    My application is for a Lotus 23. Want/need something "period", not oversized... Appreciate seeing more details.

    Default Top-notch engine

    Gordy only does things top-notch and this engine is no exception. If you are looking for a solid Twincam, look no further. This one fills the bill.

    I am surprised it is still available.
