I say " Go for it!! " I think worth your time!!
Sounds like fun... is there a 289 Ford conversion kit or are you building from scratch?
I am a purist... and would say to put the original engine in it if it does not have one in there. If it does, rebuild it and restore it. Either way will cost a bunch of money, but the end result with a Healey 6 in it will be a more valuable end result. And they are a blast to drive.....
I will look for a six banger , if not a 289 will be fun with a t 10 4 speed, I also have a Chevy 327 that will work also . And Thanks to the good folks that Love this.
A GREAT PROJECT !!!
