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? Rob Looks like a smallblock chevy that is installed with the front of the engine facing to the rear of the boat. The water pump and belts look like they are mounted on the back of the engine and the drive shaft would be connected to the front of the engine. Aaaahhhhh, for reverse rotation. |
