[Healeys] Westminster = Austin Healey 3000 engine?

[Perry]

It would appear to be from a 1959 Austin Westminster A99 or a 1961 A110 from the 29A in the engine number. Would also been attached to a central gear change gearbox with overdrive.

I am on the lookout for an engine. Mine’s OK, touch wood but I fancy trying a rebuild. 
I saw this on eBay:-
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Austin-Westminster-Healey-3000-Engine/293789700700?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D225076%26meid%3Dedea0d2894e1498bae41c2ad71f3b0a9%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D15%26mehot%3Dnone%26sd%3D383753133286%26itm%3D293789700700%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2380057%26brand%3DAustin-Healey&_trksid=p2380057.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci%3A0a169643-13b6-11eb-aaa7-ca956a12330a%7Cparentrq%3A4be0a0ef1750a0f2bc3ea8eefff338ce%7Ciid%3A1
Quite cheap at the moment. 
The vendor was a bit sparse with information. Initially there was just one photo; the ones with the numbers came after a query from me. Likewise, he didn’t/doesn’t say if the engine turns. It does, he says.
Now, the “29” makes it a 3litre and the “H” makes it a high compression. But what else? What am I missing? What can one tell from looking at the photos?
Any advice would be most welcome.
Simon
