[Healeys] Engine

[BJ8Healeys]

The Phase 1 BJ8s (up to engine 29K/H278) had the dipstick tube behind the engine mount, like the BJ7s, and used the shorter dipstick.  After engine /H278, BJ8s had the dipstick tube in front of the engine mount and higher on the block, requiring a longer dipstick.  The mechanical tach drive says the engine is BJ7 or earlier.  BJ8 tachs were electrical.

 

The engine serial tag is a factory original tag.  However, the drive rivets attaching the serial tag to the engine are flattened on top, likely from being driven in with a hammer.  To me, this indicates the tag has been removed at some point and is no longer a factory installation.  Once it is has been removed, there is no way to identify the tag as original to that engine.  It may or may not be.

Well it's not a BJ8 because the dipstick tube in not BJ8.

OK, here’s the plate. Yes, it’s a BJ7. I know that, after checking in my books. But, my concern is this:- does the plate in the pic belong to the engine in the other pic? 

Hence the hope that one can identify the engine by looking at it…..

It’s impossible to tell from looking at this side of the engine. Take a photo of the other side so we can see where the engine tag was located.

Excuse my ignorance, but can anyone identify this?

Main query being is it  from a 100/6 or a 3000, hopefully a BJ7?

Thanks,

Simon
