<div dir="ltr">As others have mentioned, you have a 3000 engine. Earlier 100-Sixes had IC engines later ones had 26Ds. Personally I would keep the 3000 and rebuild that. Exchange the pistons for the correct ones. This upgrade happened to a lot of 100-Sixes, the alternative was to bore out the 2600 to 3000 but this is always a risk as the design of the blocks is not the same and the bored engine will not take heavy stress.<div><br></div><div style>Derek</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jan 9, 2015 at 8:10 PM, <a href="mailto:josef-eckert@t-online.de">josef-eckert@t-online.de</a> <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:josef-eckert@t-online.de" target="_blank">josef-eckert@t-online.de</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><p style="margin:0px 5px 0px 0px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;color:#000000"> To 1960 MKI 3000 29Dxxx engines were fitted.

<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small">A 29F engine is from a 3000 MkII around 1962. <br>The bores are 3.281" whereas the original engine for your car had a bore of 3.125".<br>It is very likely that the carbs and manifolds from the 100/6 were used because a 29F engine had 3 carbs requiring different manifolds, throttle linkage and various other details.</div>
<div class="gmail_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.</div>
<div class="gmail_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>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> Bud W<br> _______________________________________________<br> Support Team.Net <a href="http://www.team.net/donate.html" target="_blank">http://www.team.net/donate.html</a><br> Suggested annual donation $12.75<br> Archive: <a href="http://www.team.net/archive" target="_blank">http://www.team.net/archive</a><br> Forums: <a href="http://www.team.net/forums" target="_blank">http://www.team.net/forums</a><br> <br> <a href="mailto:Healeys@autox.team.net" target="_blank">Healeys@autox.team.net</a><br> <a href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys" target="_blank">http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys</a><br> </div>
