Default Austin Healey 3000 Engine Build
My son, Dusty and myself are rebuilding a 1962 Austin Healey 3000 engine and trans (4 speed with Over Drive). I'm posting some pics and 'blogging the build' for the owner, Bob and my family and friends.

Machine shop work came to about $1100, parts have added another $2500 plus at this point. Bore, mains and rod journals are all .020 resized. The new 'slugs' are FIVE ring! Three compression and TWO oil control. The original slugs were only four, I have no clue why 5 is better than 4 and why not 3? Go figure!

Crank, rods/pistons are now installed in the block. The trans was good, only the synchros were replaced for 2nd, 3rd and 4th. No synchros on 1st gear. Installation has been pretty straight forward with no problems so far.

Ernie
