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

[richard mayor]

I recommend going to a 3000 block. While it is possible to bore out the 100-6
block you risk having problems with too thin cylinder walls. The 100-6 crank
and cylinder head (6 port) are identical to the 3000 so you can use all of
your 100-6 bits with a 3000 block. You just need new pistons. The later 100-6
rods are the same as the 3000 also.  In the case you or anyone else is
interested, I have a bare 3000 block for sale. Contact me off list,  Richard
