What a bastard child that would have been! A Healey with an 800 pound big block Olds in front.  |
I thought the engine being considered was the F85 Olds, 3500cc, all alloy, ended up as the Rover/Range Rover deal, around 330 lb or so IIRC. Might have been a winner as I think Phil Remington had already been playing with these at the Scarab Factory, which of course was where Shelby set up shop.
