It's not a "Healey" Austin engine; I wonder what it was really intended for? _________________________ 57 Healey BN6L-942 Wine Red 61 McCulloch R1 Yellow 99 BMW M Rdstr Cosmos Black (formerly supercharged) 01 BMW M Rdstr Steel Gray 08 BMW 535xi Monaco Blue Metalic

Perhaps it is the "Blue Streak" six developed in Australia for the Austin Freeway. This motor was a "B" series 1,622c.c. with two extra cylinders. I understand BMC considered it for the MG "C" before they re-developed the Austin-Healey 3000 motor. It was called "Blue Streak" because the armed forces were testing the Blue Streak missile in the Australian outback at the time (early sixties). _________________________ Forty years in one 100, still going strong!
