Hi Geoff,
I've not heard of any Sabres with a chevy block but I think I have seen one advertised with a Rover V8 engine. I don't think the weight would be an issue as the Sabre chassis is extremely strong and the whole car is quite substantial.
You could try contacting someone at the Royale Owners Club, they are a very helpful bunch

Ken Baker is their memsec and very knowledgeable.
Keep us posted if you decide to buy one.
