Thanks Bob, yes I love the Nash Healey, in my case the 54 Coupe is my 
favorite, perhaps why I have 2 :). But as we are a bit of topic, the 
attached is my 1949 Austin A70 ute. While Healey folk will say the 
Healey 100 was a derivative of the Austin Atlantic, realistically the 
Atlantic is just a big bore Austin A70 with a different body. In the 
case of my A70 it has a 2720cc Atlantic block with Australian "Head Stud 
Development" alloy head made for the 100, higher compression, 290 degree 
duration cam ( Wade 149 ), high lift rockers and chrome moly push rods 
coupled to a Toyota Supra gearbox. It has a 3.55 diff on 16 inch Austin 
wheels with high profile Continental tyres. Brakes are power assisted 
BJ8 front discs, and rear standard Austin drums. It happily cruises at 
100 KPH ( 62 MPH ) at 2400 RPM with bags of torque.

Perhaps I have ventured off topic a bit but did work in Healey where 
possible :)

Regards to all

Larry Varley
