[Healeys] 100S modifications

[Tadeusz Malkiewicz]

DW makes the heads, but there could be others..

Kilmartin brothers do the chassis parts to a great level of detail..

At this point, a good replica is probably a matter of $$$$$.. :-)

orientation-details)

Mike's article is very interesting, but I am not sure it answers my original
question. Let me restate it. It is my understanding that the 100S engine
used a 100 engine block. Was the 100S engine based on using use a 100 engine
block casting (before it had been machined) and then machining it to 100S
specifications or was it based on using an already machine 100 engine block
& modifying it where necesssary? Also, how did they move the distributor
from one side to the other side? I cannot picture how the distrbutor would
be mounted on the side of the block not originally intended for the
distributor.
Also, how was the distributor driven? Finally, based on Mike's article, what
did the factory deal with  moving the head studs for the 100S engine?
