Up to you guys, of course. Your cars to call what you want. However.....I
suppose that I've had my 3000 for nearly 20 years and been on this list for
most of that and never once did I think that the expression "nasty boy" had
any sort of pejorative content. Yes, "nasty" could have its connotations but
I'd always had a quite folksy image of guys making do with what materials
they had to hand.
And yes, of course I realize that plenty of these creations are actually
more sophisticated, complex and difficult to assemble than the originals.
And almost certainly pricier.
Just my opinion; don't shoot.

V8).

We need to update the nasty boy name.... It is way out of date. I enjoy
every Healey out there and every time I here it's a nasty boy my hair lifts
off my neck. Modified would be a much softer designation for all...
Standing by for the flack
Cheers Phil

iron 6. Then it was decided to paint the engine bay while the engine and
tranny were out. Then the fenders were removed. Then the doors, trunk, hood.
Then the seats, carpet and dash. Then the wiring and brake lines. And then
the bonnet (front and rear ) was removed. Finally, all the suspension and
axles and gas tank are gone. We initially thought only the fenders and
bottom of the doors had rust. After blasting with crushed glass and baking
soda we found pinholes in the sills, the trunk floor pan, and the frame
where the door hinges bolt to the frame. There were dents all through the
aluminum shroud which had been filled with bondo. The good news is the frame
is in perfect shape, including the outriggers.
>> My mechanic purchased my radiator, tranny and engine for $5k and I bought
a used LS1 all aluminum V8 from a 2000 Z28 that is being refreshed this
week. Front disc brakes from Denis Welch. Updating the rear with 3.54 gear
and Quaife limited slip from a fellow Healey subscriber. Will probably buy
an aluminum radiator from Wizard cooling with a 14" electric fan. Will have
to figure out how much to trim the foot boxes to fit the bell housing.
Hopefully no more than 1.5-2". Will be running exhaust on both sides of the
car. Will then modify the LS1 computer to remove the O2 sensor from the
cats and to run the new corvette fuel pump and control the electric fan.
Will keep everyone updated through the fabrication. Thanks for the advice.
