If your going to go down that path and throw away all the parts from the =

Healey Factory here in Melbourne Australia contact =
www.healeyfactory.com.au I=E2=80=99m sure Robbie

happy to provide you with references.
Good luck whatever you decide to do. The DMD engines are pretty special=20

Subject: Re: [Healeys] Westminster block
A westy block is identical to a later motor, the only difference is the =
head. If you want to convert, you need to get a new head. Honestly, =
for most levels or road tune, there isn't a huge amount of difference =
and one nice thing about the westy head is it is less thirsty with the =
fuel, and if I recall there isn't much penalty on torque, most of the =
penalty is over 3,000 rpm, which for a road car really doesn't matter =
much.

Tell me please:- am I right in my assumption that a Westminster block =

differences in the engines would be in the moving parts and the head?
ie isn=E2=80=99t a Westie block as good a place to start as any?
I ask this as there is a very presentable looking block up for sale =
near me.
Thanks,
Simon
