Definitely the pot calling the kettle black.

The driveline /chassis of my XK 150 makes the XK drive like a truck a
low speeds.   Bad combination of gear ratios, rear end, soft suspension
and weight.

That said, driving a Moss Box Morgan +4 is a hoot.   Goes together like
peanut butter and jelly.

Maybe with the different suspension / chassis setup in the healey, the
moss box is more at home than in the jag?

Anyone fancy a 100-Six with an XK150 engine!

For sale on e-bay

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Restored-1958-Austin-Healey-100-6-difference-/

the owner makes some pretty derogatory comments about the original
Healey engine and gearbox,. although this is installed with a Moss box
which is a bit like the pot calling the kettle black.

He says it runs cool. Like to see it. I had and an XJ6 and the heat that
that XK engine puts out is incredible.
