Yes.  Both have the exact same 16 stud bolt pattern.

The block is typically painted Morris Engine Green.  I=E2=80=99ve never =
seen a blue one, but engine reconditioners seem to have their own =
favourite colours, including gold, and orange.

Mark you have nailed it.  It is possible the engine in this BJ8 of =
unknown provenance has the bottom end from a Wolseley.=20

Would the top end from a Healey engine bolt directly to a Wolseley =
block?=20

The block is painted blue would that be a typical Wolseley engine =
colour?=20

=20

Are there any distinguishing features too look for between a Healey =
block and a Wolseley block?

They appear to be the same, except for the later BJ8s where the dip =
stick tube is mounted forward and higher than all the previous models.

The Healeys, Wolseley 6/110 and Austin A110 all have the same casting =
number on their blocks =E2=80=93 12B 766

Wolseley 6/110 block painted Morris Engine Green. =20

These sell here in New Zealand generally for between $50 - $100. =20

This is an early 6/110 block  . . .  I=E2=80=99m showing it for the =
colour only.=20

Note that the seller has penned =E2=80=98Austin Healey, A110, =

They make great boat anchors.  =F0=9F=98=8A

Harold,

Here is a damper off my spare Wolseley 6/110 Mk II engine.  Yours on the =
left =E2=80=93 mine on the right.

The Wolseley block is exactly the same as the BJ8 engine.  Same casting =

As you can see, the 6/110 damper is the same as yours.  I usually call =

As I  mentioned earlier, the damper that Mark has identified as Wolseley
was, I believe, also used on late BJ8s with the 1/2" fan belt.
The illustration in the parts book does not show the "fins" but I
certainly have encountered those on BJ8s.
