The bullitt box was from the Lotus Cortina. Istr that it has 4 speeds, close ratios, dog engagement. Very cool!
Donno a thing about Lotus Jack, but the ali casing can't hurt (can it?).
I'd contact Caterham w/ questions, particularly about the final drive ratio. I don't doubt that they'd be happy to help (as they can). From 84 you're going well back into the Graham Nearn days.
Imo you've scored on this one. You're building a car that qualifies as an antique, and it's a genuine 7. Very cool (again!)
Edited to add: If you don't want it, lemme know!
