I thought a new Elise engines were running about $10k from the factory - not $2k. I suppose you get get a used one for cheaper, but i wouldn't think that cheap.
You can get a 2zz for 2k$, but probably not from Lotus.

I was offered a used 2zz engine a year ago for 800$. In any case, a LOT cheaper than a GT3 engine.
