[Healeys] My Healey is ready for pick up at the body shop

May be a good opportunity to look into the possibility of a
split/compressible steering column

wow that just adds to the bottom line of a cost over run project
already.....

I'm happy to go with the BJ8 set up on my BT7.
I t's 40 over with a mild race cam, balanced with a lightened flywheel. I do
not race, and I do not run it to the limit anymore, like I did when I was a
kid. I just wanted a bit more HP to play with.
cheers
