You're very close to me; I'm just off SR20 between 85 & 316. Let me know if I can ever be of help or just talk cars over a pint or three. What's the project car you bought?
1970 Elan Plus 2 (not S) 50/2036
2012 BMW R1200GS

Not sure why you have listed it as a Lotus Cortina engine? It's not, it's an Elan engine. Ford cars fitted with a Lotus Twincam never used the Stromberg head or carbs.

If you can find a number stamped on the horizontal flat of the block under the carbs (e.g. LPxxxxLBA), it would help clearing the question of provenance of the engine
