John, it is a slant engine, based on that I am guessing it would fit (maybe
barely) but the width would need to be checked out as well.

The lotus engine is a twin overhead cam, and its power output was legendary
in
the 60's...
Parts are still available, but bare in mind they are a little more tricky to
rebuild than your average spitfire push-rod lump.
My only worry on a putting it in a spit (something I have thought about
myself,
but the engines are bloody expensive second hand) is the height. You may
need to
bulge the bonnet...
