Nice to see you kept the engine mild, make for a better driver.  |
Hope you're referring to my Ford in a Healey swap. It's a classic swap and was being done back in the '60s, especially after the Cobra came out. There are a lot of guys who've done it before. My mechanical skills are much like my cooking skills. I can follow a recipe, but am not so great on improvising on my own. I attempted to do this as a "period" style swap, without a lot of body mods, big flares and wide wheels. I was targeting the 271 hp of the HiPo 289 with the engine. I was very happy to see it dyno at 345 at the crank.
