Your madness has only just begun. :) Judging from the experiences of
engine swappers on the Lotus List, you will have a lot of sorting to do.

and systems that needed to be upgraded for the conversion, are already.
Good luck!

Can't wait to read all about it! I expect your project will be fodder for
articles well into next year.
Congrats on your progress.
