I talked to Garry Kemp long time ago about the possibility of building a 2.5L engine and Garry replied he had built a few 2.5L Lotus engines already and that it is feasible to go even larger (2.9L)!
A 2.5L Lotus engine, using the Lotus 910 Zeus block can produce between 280-300 HP and between 220-240 lbs/ft of torque. Garry wouldn't recommend using the 907 for this.
In a JH this amount of torque makes the rears unstick but it can of course be done. Garry has all the tools and bits lying around in his garage but for his own JH he has built a 2.2L and not a 2.5L. The latter he uses for his Lotus Sunbeam racecar
the 2.5L crank alone is already around 1100 GBP!
good luck
