Jonas,
Thanks for the info. I surely do not know of all the early 60s conversions
going on. Having owned a stovebolt Chevy 6, (Paid the dealer $100 for the
car with a guarantee good 'til the driveway) I am having a hard time see why
someone would want to put a stovebolt 6 in a Healey 100. Because it was
lying in the garage? As you probably know the stovebolt Chevy had splash
lubrication of the rod journals--not want one would want in a performance
engine--and it was heavy.

I have seen a couple 100's on ebay with Chevy 6's. One with a "blue flame"
the other with a regular stovebolt.
The latter was a real hatchet job.
