20B Dimension need help

Can someone help me find the dimension of the 20B engine?
I'm looking for the approximate length - the width - and the depth.
I'm thinking of using it to a Lotus 7 type car project.

I appreciate any help ---- approximate is ok.

Roughly, it's the same height and width as the 13B (depending on which manifold you're using), add 6 inches for length.

The supercharged S2K engine is a good one, wondering why you're replacing it.. Given that a NA 400+ whp 3 rotor with ceramic seals would be a better fit in your car in many ways, I'm just curious about your thoughts on the current engine.

Thank you --- so the height is the same as the 13B - add 6 more inches in length.
The width is the same as 13B also?

The s2k supercharged is excellent but I'm thinking of putting the current s2k engine to my Ariel Atom (replica) project and try the 20B to the Lotus 7.

This is what I have wanted to do for quite a while (Free time being the factor)
The only disadvantage is being able to control the exhaust note & a having to work with a short exhaust runner length. Other than that, I can't see a better swap availble for a S2K Ultra Light or any smaller Lotus 7 type car The M-Spec Stalker being the exception but that is a different beast all together.

Another note - COOLING - The current radiator surface area in your S2K is not big enough in my opinion. A large oil cooler should be added also with it's own fresh air source. Finding space for the above (I think) necessary mods will be a challenge. If you go the 20B route - I would love to see pics of your progress.

Thanks Banzai that's what I'm looking for. I think I might have some room.

80-CU - absolutely! I will let you know if I make a decision to install 20B to my Lotus 7.

I appreciate very much....
