Thurman,
 
There's a lot of Lotus activity around DC and all over the east coast.   If you hook up with some J-H folk,  great.   But also consider looking for a local Lotus club out there for help with your 907.   I can give you some leads if you wish.    Also consider subscribing to some of the Lotus related mailing lists on YahooGroups for more support.   Try the Lotus-cars,  S1/S2/S3Owners (naturally aspirated Esprits)  and Turboesprit mailing lists.

This JHPS forum is a great resource.   But since you are working on a replica of a non J-H car,  don't get too stuck on using all J-H parts.   Looking at the Lotus cars that also used the 907 engine may give you some other parts options to build with.   Motor mounts for instance.   The J-H,  Elite, Eclat and early Esprit mounts were all problematic and short lived.   But the Turbo Esprit mounts are excellent.   Design around the Turbo parts and you won't get so much practice replacing mounts later.
