Is that an in-house engine or was it sourced? I know the gearbox was Frawnch, but don't know about the engine.

It is an in-house Lotus engine.

I guess if your gaskets ever blow, you know who to contact!

Seriously though, I'd like to see a pic of that plaque, if possible.

Here you go. I believe there were only 2 engine builders for the Final Edition cars.
