5 Speed Gearbox for Early Elan Engine?
Posted: Wed Nov 15, 2017 2:31 am
Hello.
I have a Elan engine with a 4 speed gearbox that I going to be using in a car other than a Elan and would like to upgrade the gearbox to a 5 speed. I have spoken to a few people looking for suggestions but they were all none Lotus owners so the advise I received was their experience with different gearboxes but none mounted to an Elan engine. Therefore I'm asking for any input that might help me determine which, if any, gearbox is best suited to work with an Elan engine. I realize there might be extensive modifications required to the mounting points to the engine and also the frame I'll be using but I'm okay with that.
So, if there's anyone with actual experience with adapting a 5 speed gearbox to an Elan engine please help me out.
Any and all assistance will be appreciated!
