Interesting tidbit is the Ferguson brothers who developed tractors, both
of Ireland, one was well known for this tractors, the other was the owner
of the huge fergus motors in NY city,

of course he sold triumphs and morgans fitted out with the engines, but
not healeys that i know of.

my old super sports morgan was ordered for racing by fergus motors for
SCCA on the east coast in the 60's

the engine is tough but harmonics lead to a blow up of the crank at over
6k as 3rd main lets go and the block has a hole in it back on right side.

when on the farm we had a massey ferguson i think it was from the late
40's
