I purchased the car new in 1960 a dealer in Bayport NY. I street drove the car until 1963 when I purchased a new 1963 Corvette Z06. I had an accident in 1962 that destroyed the bug eye lights so I purchased a Peasmarsh fiber glass bonnet. It looked like an XKE Jag with the headlights under plexiglass covers. With the Z06 to drive on the street my brother and I installed a Buick 215 CI aluminum engine. We built the engine with Hilborn fuel injection, Isky cam and kit, 13:1 Forge True pistons, Mickey Thompson Alum rods, Thomas magnesium rocker arms, Vertex Magneto, T-10 transmission, 57 Chevy rear end shortened to fit under the body and used M&H slicks on widened Corvette wheels. With the hood surround we ran B Modified Sport and If we removed the surround we ran C Altered. It ran very well, the cam and set up produced max HP at 10,500 RPM so the straight exhaust had the sound of any Indy car. This is what happens when a H Production car grows up."</span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"inherit",serif;color:#1C1E21'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-family:"inherit",serif;color:#1C1E21'>Se<o:p></o:p></span></b></p></div><p class=MsoNormal>On Mon, Feb 12, 2024 at 9:25 PM <<a href="mailto:alfuller194@gmail.com">alfuller194@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p></div><blockquote style='border:none;border-left:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 6.0pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-right:0cm'><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span lang=EN-US>Has anyone here put the Rove V-8 in a Healey?
