A buddy races a 240Z and we were at a friends shop prepping several engine blocks while there was a Healy block disassembled waiting for parts (going to a vintage meet at Sebring, IIRC). The Nissan inline six is S-T-O-U-T, the Healy block had only three stinking main bearings and they looked like they were about as wide as a stick of gum. I do believe the Germans are a bit better with the blocks than the English at least. ; -)
