[Spridgets] Big Healey question

[corvallis at peoplepc.com]

The trunk lid will have a 100 or 3000 on it. 100 is 4-cylinder and 3000 is
6-cylinder. Just about any 6 would fit in there; maybe even the Buick V-6.
There should be plenty of answers on the internet to Google. Yes, the small
V-8 would fit; I prefer Chevy. Any number of people have put the whole motor
and driveline in there. I wouldn't do what other hot rodders have done
...somewhere ...sometime.  Why not just resell it to someone that might keep
is stock? (what is a SBC?)  ...bill in Oregon (1942)

I had someone stop today, while I was out in the Sprite, telling me that
they would be willing to sell their project. It seems that 10 or so years
ago, they bought a 57 Healey, but never did anything with it. IF it is like
Spridgets, there may be a chance it is a 56 BN2, just titled for year of
sale. If not, how much room is under the bonnet, would a SBC fit?
I may go look at this thing soon, but would like an idea of current going
price on a rolling shell. I know this is a Spridget list, but several of you
have or had Big Healey's.
Yes Frank, I know it will drive like a tractor, but if the price is right, I
have a friend with an aluminum V8 that I may be able to purchase. Since it
won't corner, I might as well make it go fast straight.

Thanks,
Brad
