'62 Healey with a 289-6bbl/4-sp Swap

[scuncio]

I love to see these old British sportscars with V8 conversions that were done decades ago. This one is a pretty badass machine with the tri-carb 289 and 4-speed...and I really dig the patina.

All dialed-in that would be fun! My dad had a new '67 3000 and occasionally considered a V8 conversion.

Very cool - I had a 327 powered 100-4 that was a blast.

My parents had a 67 Austin Healey before they had kids :-) they brought home a Christmas tree in it one time I'm told.


This Healey would be a real blast!!


Notice the shifter knob says push down for reverse, and it has the short stick... does it have a Street Super Shifter?

At 2,750 pounds with a high revving, screaming, high compression cobra motor, that car would fly!
