Jensen Healey -- V8

[HealeyV8]

A little information on my Jensen Healey which I've installed a Rover V8 3.5l engine and 5 speed LT77 gearbox (from a SD1).
A few modifications:- Viper Hurricane road race cam, Edelbroke 500CFM 4 barrel Carb sitting on a Ofenhauser dual plane 360 manifold, 20% stiffer springs and AVO adjustable gas shocks and front sway bar.




Thanks
Rob

Looks lovely and I'll bet it sounds better than the original too!

Haven't seen a J-H in years, but have fond memories of my late father's boss having a GT when they were new which my brother and I used to ogle in the reserved parking at his factory.

Didn't these fill the sump with petrol if you parked facing down hill?

The very first ones did let fuel into the sump That was sorted quickly.
Lovely car op. Can I ask how the clutch works. I see no clutch cable !

Hydraulic, you can see the master cylinder next to the servo.
