The first known instance of this was the installation of a very early C-type 
100-6 engine in a 100-4 COUPE. The registration is OAC1 and it was used for 
some years as a factory "Mule" to test different brakes, and engines.

I was fortunate to be able to drive this car in 2002 over quite a few miles 
of British Motorway and back roads.  It is a ROCKET....  Speeds in the 90 - 100 
mph were VERY easy to obtain and maintain.  Braking was superb from the 4 
wheel disks.  Cockpit heat in the middle of summer was ....  Well, it is a 
Healey...

The specifications and photos of this car can be seen on pages 106 and 107 of 
"The Healey Book."
