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

[John H]

I have a spare 3000 engine in Atlanta.  Originally, it was a tricarb with correct tricarb casting #.  Comes with Starter, Generator and exhaust manifolds.....no intake.

Contact me off list for more info about it.

for that matter, I have lots of parts..mechanical and body.
