The "design brief" of my "Nasty Boy" has been to follow those early V8
conversions I used to see in Hot Rod in the '60s, the days when someone could
take their slightly used Healey to Max Balchowsky's shop with $500 for a quick
infusion of go juice. The exterior and interior will remain stock while the
engine bay is going to look like some lucky hot rodder stumbled upon a HiPo
Mustang engine just after blowing his Healey six. Kind of like this period
look: http://www.britishv8.org/MG/GeorgeSnively.htm I'm going to keep the
original Healey gauges, adapted to the Ford smallblock. I plan to run a
braided stainless hose from the Ford outlet to an AN adapter to the steel pipe
of the oil gauge connection. I'm assuming it's a BPT? Can anyone tell me the
thread size, BTW, its a BJ7.
