What he said. Except as a 100 owner, I'd refine that to be "we like
torque more than high horsepower at high revs."  To me, Healeys 
(at least my 100/6 and 100, but not so much my '65 Sprite) have 
always had lots of grunt; they just don't rev. If they put a Honda 
S2000-like engine in it, I think they'd be missing the mark. Of
course, if we can get tons of torque *and* HP, I'd be OK with that,
too.

My 2 cents, and worth every penny.
