[Healeys] Westminster block

[simon.lachlan at alexarevel.plus.com]

For ages I've been thinking of buying a 3000 engine and doing it up to a
fairly high spec. Nothing too clever, definitely a road car version. But I
always hang back when I see the prices of whole engines.

And, it strikes me, that one will probably have to ditch most of the moving
parts so why buy them in the first place?

Maybe buy a block and add the rest as and when. Some from eBay, some from
the usual suspects..

Tell me please:- am I right in my assumption that a Westminster block is as
near as makes no difference to a 3000 block? And that the main differences
in the engines would be in the moving parts and the head?

ie isn't a Westie block as good a place to start as any?

I ask this as there is a very presentable looking block up for sale near me.

Thanks,

Simon
