Does anybody here know if there is much external difference (engine mounts, block size, etc) between the Lotus Twin Cam 1600's as used in the Escort Twin Cam (and the Lotus Cortina before that) and the 1973cc Lotus 907 twin cam engine as used in the Jensen Healey, and if it would be possible to shoehorn one into the engine bay of a 1973 Escort XL 1300? Or are they too different to the 1600 Lotus Twin Cam to fit into a Mk I Escort and we'd be better off sourcing a 2L OHC 'Pinto'?
I'm asking because (as some of you may know) we might be able to get our hands on a Lotus engine that came out of a Jensen Healey, and the 1300cc that is under the hood isn't exactly the fastest thing around. But the idea of a stock-looking Mk I Escort, complete with 1300 badges on it, packing a 144bhp Lotus engine, appeals for some reason...  :
