Engine for Lotus Elan 26R

Hi

I just got hold of a Gunze, Lotus Elan 26R kit, wich unfortunatly comes without the engine even if the hood is opened.

So I'm wondering how to find a engine to put into the cute little car. I have figured out that the Tamiya Lotus Europa kit comes with an engine, but does anyone know if this is the ford-lotus twin-cam engine, or the single-cam Renault engine, that earlier Europa versions was fitted with?

Or does anyone know of other kits that got the twin-cam engine, except of the Gunze Hightech kit wich is too expensive as an engine donor.

BTW: The Gunze kit looks decent, with PE parts and seatbelts included in the kit. I'll post a short review of it later.
