[Healeys] 2.6 engine rebuild

[I Erbs]

My question to him has always been.... If the 3000 engine is good, there is
no reason short of concourse judging to switch out the engine. if it is
beyond rebuilding, then sure get an original or 3000 block if available. he
told me he wants to fix it up and sell it and wondered if the non oem engine
would hurt resale....I offered that the later engine/head/carb set up would
be worth more than the earlier set up....
cheers,
