Default Lotus Seven

I wonder, we all know the 2.0TS and 2.4JTD are some of the best road-car
engine designs around. Pity then that Lotus 7 kits such as Cats and Westies
don't have them fitted instead choosing mass-produced Ford/Vauxhall units
where the pants have to been revved off them to get anywhere near the pithy
peak torque range let alone peak power .

Has anyone successfully mated an Alfa unit to a 7 copy? I guess a big
problem would be sourcing a suitable prop shaft (rwd)? Discuss mertis and
problems as appropriate :-)
