Oh crap I totally forgot that connection. When I was in the 1st year of my apprenticeship, making 42 dollars a week, an acquaintance had an Austin Healey 3000 early Mk. for sale. It was kinda messed up for handling because he shoehorned a 327 chev into it which screwed the handling to power dynamics. And I was broke. I only had enough money to get drunk on Saturday night and hopefully get some.1953. it was no longer being produced. It was the Nash-Healey at the time.
The 3,000 had an inline 6 normally and stromberg carbs. With the 327 and 4 bbl carb you really could not open it up much as it tended to want to go sideways.
