As Triumphs owners, we aren't too concerned about "matching numbers" since
our engines never match body numbers anyway.  But I recently came across a
big Austin-Healey (100-4) sans engine and had a couple of questions:

-           Is it easy enough to source an engine for these cars?

-          Will the car be worth less with a non-matching engine?
