Caterham 7 VX engine installation help please

I want to build a Caterham Seven utilising my 2.0l 16 valve Calibra engine. I know some of you will try to convert me to Rover or Duratec or some sort of bike engine but I am adamant!! I want to build a VX!!



If anyone has any info or can tell me where to look on the net I would welcome your comment.



In particular I need to know about engine mounts (how high or low the engine has to sit), gearbox coupling (i.e. which box to use, bell housing, spacer plates etc.)



Can I use the original VX Calibra fuel injection system and engine management system or do I need to change it?



Does the engine need any modifications to make it fit a seven?



Anything else I need to consider? Please let me know.



Many thanks in anticipation,
Michael
