Re: [Healeys] conversion 100/6 engine ---> 3000 engine

Hi Eric,
Absolutely not. The 100/6 block does not have sufficient material in the
bores to accommodate the 3000 bore and the results of trying to make this
work can be catastrophic.
I have attached some photographs of an engine that was sold to me as a
freshly rebuild 3000 race engine. It didn't last 1 lap!!

Subject: [Healeys] conversion 100/6 engine ---> 3000 engine

Is it possible to convert a 100/6 engine into a 3000 engine? To be exact, it
is a 100/6 engine with 12 port head.

What do I have to do (rebore, pistons, crankshaft???, valves, etc.) to make
this work?

All recommendations, warnings and tips are welcome.
