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?

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.
