[Healeys] Fwd: conversion 100/6 engine ---> 3000 engine

[I Erbs]

My 100-6 came with a 3000 engine. I have since added disk wheels/disk brakes
so I call it a BT7. but not really sure what it is as the ID tag for the car
was in a  box, so it could actually belong to some other car. It
is registered as  BN4....
