Hi guys,
I just signed up to find out a little more about the 2.8L V6, as I have a project car that came with one.
The car is a modified 1955 Austin Healey 100-4. It's kinda a "street rod" build, with a custom chassis, later model rear end, disk brakes, T-10 4-speed, and a rebuilt 2.8l v6. We've envisioned it as a driver, with performance slightly higher than the Healey factory racers, yet very driveable being a light weight car with a modern drivetrain.
Originally, the 100-4 came with a GM-based inline 4-cyl producing about 90hp, with a higher-performance version making about 110hp, and the factory racer with 135hp. So I think we're pretty close in hp with the rebuilt 2.8l already in it. If I end up with more hp, it won't be the worst thing that's ever happened.
I'll start a thread with my specific questions about this motor, and I thank all of you in advance for any assistance and tips you can pass on!
