Croc Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 No affiliation or links. Found this on the Hemmings website: http://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/dealer/lotus/super_seven/897917.html A HS Engineering Sabre Seven. Perfect for the person who cannot drive a stick shift. 3Lt V6...hmmmm Bob's Classics in Florida is the original dealer - the ad at their site is at http://www.bobsclassics.com/89ss.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Off Road SHO Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Sweet! You could pull that 140 hp 3.0 Vulcan out and drop an SHO 3.2 in and have 220 hp and have a real screamer there. Thanks for posting that, I'll have to give that guy a call. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure what the engine bay dimensions since I have never seen a Sabre Seven in the flesh but I assume it is bigger than the standard Seven from say a Caterham or Birkin or Westfield. From my recollection of playing with lots of Tauruses (Tauri?) I thought the standard 3lt was a pretty tall motor and the SHO engine was even taller again. Unfortunately, you may run out of bonnet clearance. Then again you could always drop a V8 in and leave the bonnet off..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snookwheel Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 That is not too far from where I live! I'll have to go check it out. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestTexasS2K Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 a LS3 should fit in there nicely and you can have 470hp. Probably the same weight as that cast iron block v6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SHO motor fully dressed weighs 540 pounds. There is just something about the sound of that Yamaha at 7,000 rpms that gets me. When mine was normally aspirated, I would purposely look for reasons to come to a stop, just so I could row through the gears again. Yep, I'm a sick puppy...

Tom You are in great company here. I do the same now and I would not be surprised if half the Forum admits to doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
