[Healeys] engine BHP

[Derek Job]

Gary,

The short answer is... a lot of money!

It will have a full race cam (320 degrees), 11 or 12 to 1 compression
ratio. Alloy head with bigger valves all round fully ported etc, fully
balanced forged steel engine, that will rev to at least 7500, sometimes
8000rpm. Triple Webers etc, etc. It will not have electronic ignition as
that isn't allowed. As Gary rightly said, its a bit different from the
original 100-Six that it began life as.
