Usually, Big Healeys cross-reference to a Group 24. Starters usually pull about 300A momentarily--CCA 500 or higher should work fine. 

Battery specs don't specify polarity; just install as required (you may need slightly longer cable reach for neg. ground).

My main question was about cranking power and battery. Such as a size 24,27? And correct terminal position fir neg earth car.

Get a 'regular' battery, and put one of the newer 'conditioning' trickle chargers on it (they reduce sulfation). My last lead-acid--$70--lasted 7 years without the fancy charger.

If you drive your Healey often enough, you don't need a deep cycle battery. 

Just sayin'
