the 429/460 has valve covers about twice as wide as these and more than 4
bolts in them. These valve covers are small block chevy.


Sure looks that way.

Did Grey Marine ever use Chevrolet heads on a proprietary block? This
would be the only way to get the distributor drive gear into the front
of the engine as I see it.

That distributor is right where they are on the FE blocks. I can't
think of any common wide block that shares bore spacing &/or bolt
patterns with the SBC.

Anyone?
