Quite a few Austin Healeys were converted to V8 power in the 1960s. During the mid sixties, Art Eatman of Austin Texas was making a business of it. These were mostly all-around street cars but at least one of Eatman's conversions was actively road-raced in period. My question is: Can you guys help me gather any additional information about Art Eatman or about his Healey conversions? More specifically: How many did he complete? How many still exist? Who were his customers? Etc.
At least one of Art Eatman's V8 Healey conversions still gets a lot of use! Here's a new article about it:
Since 1966: Richard Wright's Chevy V8 powered 1960 Austin Healey BN7
Two interesting things to know about this car:
1) Richard was the Healey's second owner - he bought it in 1971.
2) Richard actually had a V8 Healey BEFORE this one. After it was totaled on a rainy night by a careless driver in a big American sedan, he purchased THIS V8 Healey with the insurance money.
