dougdrake Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 Don't you wish sellers of audio gear were this honest? They'd describe this as near mint!! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2451718436&category=6472 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheltie dave Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 Rick, I think he was so deliriously happy thinking he could get rid of this swine that his hands were violently shaking. With that 383 wedged into the engine bay like Raquel Welch slithering into a 35C bra, you could barbeque a side of beef in under an hour if within five feet of the hood! I've seen cooler temperatures in July in Death Valley. This is one of those cars that looks absolutely great parked in the driveway, and everyone loves to congratulate anyone at a car show who drives one of these rhinos It costs two grand every time you fire one of these bad boys up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a 74 MKII for a couple of years and it was a very nice handling car with a darn spirited 4 banger. As to the Ebay thingy - outstanding stuff. I bow in the sellers presence..

ricktate Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 Henry,that spirited 4 banger is a Lotus 907 4 valve per cyl. engine, same one Lotus put in the Esprit in 1976.One of the first 4 valve production engines put in a regular car...first Jensen Healey was out in 1973.They used the Jensen Healey as test bed for engine.....also the Jensen Interceptor came with a chrysler 440 engine ,so i believe the one for sale has been changed,,,not sure since it is right hand drive, could be in U.K. they had smaller engine for gas prices over there.I have a 1974 Jensen Healey with 50,000 miles on it.....by the way that engine is 120 ci...puts out 145 hp....in 1974...un heard of back then..in fact it had more power than a chevy corvette of same year and because of smog controll on chevy the Healey was faster lol..rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricktate Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 Dave,the 1975 Jensen Interceptor III with a 440cu. in. engine got 17 mpg while the 1975 corvette with a 350 only got 20mpg so i dont think it cost anymore to start a Jensen up as far as fitting the engine into the Jensen it is a big car it fits in there just fine.Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheltie dave Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 Rick, I was just yanking your chain I have owned more than a few LBCs, and once you got all the kinks ironed out, they were every bit as reliable as American iron. It does take a bank to fix the bodged ones. Those Lotus engines are sweeeet to take up to the redline. The twin cam 1.6L Cortina engine is a winner, the Caterham 7 is a barrel of monkees, and anyone who owns or lusts after a Miata owes it to themselves to check out a late Sixties Elan to see where the body was lifted. And having banged and barked knuckles many a time on the underside getting engine mount nuts installed on the 440, the bay is a lot tighter than anything I ever want to stick my hand in again They run like striped-bass grapes, though!
