because a 29F engine had 3 carbs requiring different manifolds, throttle
linkage and various other details. </div><div class="yiv0500383657gmail_default" style="font-family: comic sans ms, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Depending upon how accurately you want to restore the car you could leave that block in or try to find an original 100/6 block. <br>You really have to know your Healeys to be able to tell the difference externally.<br></div><div class="yiv0500383657gmail_default" style="font-family: comic sans ms, sans-serif; font-size: small;">If that degree of accuracy is not required I would suggest that you rebuild the 3000 engine and use it. <br><br></div><div class="yiv0500383657gmail_default" style="font-family: comic sans ms, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Michael S<br></div><div class="yiv0500383657gmail_default" style="font-family: comic sans ms, sans-serif; font-size: small;">BN1 #174<br></div><div class="yiv0500383657gmail_default" style="font-family: comic sans ms, sans-serif; font-size: small;"> <br></div></div><div class="yiv0500383657gmail_extra"><br><div class="yiv0500383657gmail_quote">On Fri, Jan 9, 2015 at 12:12 PM, Northside <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:nside@hiwaay.net" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" ymailto="mailto:nside@hiwaay.net">nside@hiwaay.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="yiv0500383657gmail_quote" style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex; border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-left-width: 1px; border-left-style: solid;">I am rebuilding my100-6 BN4. I ordered a set of pistons. When they came in the mechanic showed me they were too small. I have reached the conclusion that the engine must have been swapped out at some point. The number on the block is 29f/1H 5487. Can anyone tell from this # what the engine might be.<br>
Thanks for any help.<br>
