Hot Rods Restoring the Hemi-Healy BB/GS

Keep us posted. I love Healeys. The first car I bought was a stock '61 A-H 3000. The second one had a 327 with Muncie 4 speed, removable hard top.

 

Not to hijack this awesome thread, but they're 215/60/15's on an original set of cobra wires. It's not that the tires are that big, it's that the car is that small.

 

I have nothing to get over. If you go back and read my original postings, I simply stated that an original width intake will not fit a 354 with 392 heads. And you said nothing previously about a narrowed intake. So a bunch of you guys jumping on me for stating a known fact. Please post pictures of your narrowed Roto-Faze intake so I can add it to my collection of information.
And instead of bitching at me, maybe you can explain why the 392 heads were used. We are all here to learn, right?

 

Just another Healy...

 

Just catching up on this thread, and they did move our car to Gas from M/SP in 68, at least at NY National Speedway.

 

Very Cool, looking forward to seeing it at the Nostalgia Drags at E-Town!

 

Any updates?

Although the NHRA Sports Car Classes never got as much notoriety as the Gasser Classes, the Sports and the Modified Sports cars were nasty competitors, and the class rules were almost the same as the Gas Coupe & Sedan rules.

Always got a kick out of that picture. Bad ass car and the driver looks like he's just kicking back in a recliner.

Outstanding! Haven't been on the board in awhile, but got to meet Rob Ida and talk about past lives. His father and my father must have crossed paths in the past (Westhampton? Brooklyn? E-town?), and Rob is a really down to earth dude with serious hot rodding chops. The Healey is killer, I loved the gassers of the 60's, glad to see it lives again.

 

Just FYI, I had a 100-6 after high school and built several models very similar to your Dad's race car. But I really like it as a street car so it never was hot rodded. Also, one of your Dad's former employees and frequent lunch-buncher, has a little shop down here near Tampa, in Brandon. If you'd like to say hi, here is his email. Gary
