[Healeys] 3000 engine on eBay

[Kees Oudesluijs]

Do not see any reason why not. The engine is not hugely expensive (at 
the moment). It is a simple engine to rebuild. Parts are available. Do 
check though if the engine has been rebored or not. It may have to be 
sleeved.

Rebuilding an engine gives great satisfaction.
