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

[Don]

I did mine so that I still had the original matching numbers of the car.
However once you open the hood and see triple Weber's originality kind
of goes out the window.  It was also cheaper than sourcing a rebuilt BJ8
engine and needed parts at the time. The later 6-cyl engines have a
superior design to the early 100-6's.

Erik -

To be honest you can get more or less 3000 performance in your 100 6
by simply using a hotter cam and 2" carbs.  Upshot of this is your
mileage will be a little better too.

Unless you are racing, there's not much advantage to fiddling with the
100 6 block.

That's my feeling after thinking about it a little more.
