    We have a 1965 Austin Healey Replica that has IFS, Ford rear end, QA1 coil overs both ends, Dayton Wire wheels, 400 SBC out of a 1972 Caprice with the Turbo 400 ******. We bought this car to get into shape. We were able to get the ch***is updated before I lost my job in 2010 and then in Feb. of 2013 my wife lost her job so this put the cabosh on finishing the car. Hopefully we can do a little at a time. The engine is very tired, it runs great but uses a lot of oil.

    Last week we went to North Muskegon and back (about 160 miles) and it was down a little over a quart.

    Have been learning here by reading posts on the 400 SBC.

    Hey there DueHew
    This site is dedicated to 65 and earlier traditional hot rods and customs - I'm not sure if your replica 65 Healey will be celebrated as on-topic by all, but welcome anyway and enjoy your time here
    Cheers.
