Jackson,
I suspect you've mixed your Walt Disney, Little Golden book and Healey
literature up? ;-)
The alloy Head for Healeys would overhang an MGC block.
Some (one?) of the remaining alloy blocks cast to be used in PWB are with John
Chatham.
Dave Woodhouse (DMD) has built new Healey Alloy block.

Maybe BMC contemplated using an alloy Healey engine in an MGC?
Maybe BMC put an alloy Healey engine in an MGC?
Maybe the idea and the money to cast the alloy Healey blocks came from MG, who
may have been
looking for a new engine for the MGC??
But it's a Healey engine, not an MGC engine
