 To 1960  MKI 3000 29Dxxx  engines were fitted. You need to ask BMIHT to
correct your certificate.
29Fxxx engine is from a BJ7.

Hi Bud,
A 29F engine is from a 3000 MkII around 1962. 
The bores are 3.281" whereas the original engine for your car had a bore
of 3.125".
It is very likely that the carbs and manifolds from the 100/6 were used
because a 29F engine had 3 carbs requiring different manifolds, throttle
linkage and various other details.
Depending upon how accurately you want to restore the car you could leave
that block in or try to find an original 100/6 block. 
You really have to know your Healeys to be able to tell the difference
externally.
If that degree of accuracy is not required I would suggest that you
rebuild the 3000 engine and use it.

I am rebuilding my100-6 BN4. I ordered a set of pistons. When they came
in the mechanic showed me they were too small. I have reached the
conclusion that the engine must have been swapped out at some point. The
number on the block is 29f/1H 5487. Can anyone tell from this # what the
engine might be.
Thanks for any help.

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
