Looking to buy a Grand Banks 42 Classic & need some info

Hi all,
A few questions re Grand Banks 42 Classic.
1) I need to calculate volume for break bulk cargo costing. Can
anybody advise the height of a GB42 Classic from the keel line to the
top of the flybridge sides. Mast and bimini will be lowered. She was
built 1978 although I don't think the basic dimensions have changed
over the years.
2) The engines are Ford Lehman Super 275. Any advise on operating and
parts procurement would be appreciated. I would like to get hold of a
maintenance or workshop manual and have not yet had any luck. I am in
Sydney, Australia but I suspect I will need to go fairly far afield to
get some parts.
3) Has anyone had any experience getting information out of Grand
Banks regarding the history of a particular hull. Such as any special
build instructions or modifications, or the original name that a
particular boat was given.

There is also frequent discussion of GBs and similar vessels on the
Trawler World mailing list.
Ford Lehman diesels were made/marinised by Bob Smith of American
Diesel.
