[Healeys] decision

[BJ8 Healeys]

Jim's spare engine is original to HBJ8L/29104, an Ivory White car with red
trim built 17 - 21 September 1964 and despatched to the USA (Port of Entry
not specified).  Its current location or existence is unknown, and there is
no history on it in the BJ8 registry.

The engine in your car, Alan, came out of HBJ8L/38498, a Healey Blue car
with blue trim built 12 - 13 October 1966 and shipped to San Francisco.  Its
current location or existence is unknown and there is no history on it.

Jim -

BJ8 blocks are always in demand.  I'd leave it alone and let the next guy
build it the way he wants.

Out of curiosity, what's the number on the motor?  It might be out of
someone's car and they may want it back.  I know my BJ8 does not have the
original BJ8 motor in it, but a later BJ8 motor.
