I'm fairly sure it's not the same as any of the Healeys. You might find that the Jensen 541 club has a source.

The same engine was used in an Austin lorry, but I cannot for the life of me remember the model. Though I think it began with "C". And I think technically it was a C type engine. The smaller ones of the period being A and B.
I do not think any Austin Healey was ever 4 litres.

I think it's the same engine that was used in the Austin Loadstar and military K9 models, if that helps.

Thanks Richard.
Lodestar was the name which escaped me.
