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?

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.
