You cannot do a straight swop with the lotus engine as the Zetec engine won't go into the lotus chassis. You need to speak to Andy Widnall at Spyder -he is very helpful. I love the lotus twin cam but my +2 has a 2litre Zetec engine producing 160 bhp. The acceleration is on par with my Sprint but what I like about the Zetec is it's acceleration from about 40mph in fifth. The torque is fantastic. I'm finding living day to day with a Zetec +2 much easier than my old 'lotus powered' +2.
