Not many people know this but the first Waggot head and the first Dunstan head went into boats. The Waggot into a Lewis Skiff called Marlo and the Dunstan into a hyroplane called Minx. Both boats broke records. Marlo still holds the NSW record for the 2750cc (155ci) class as does Minx (SA).
I have a set of those Amals for a grey. I bought them from Hawkesbury swap a few years ago for $30. Wish I could find the head to match.
While Im on firsts the first set of Ardun Heads to come to Australia were used on a race boat called Le Sabre (another Lewis Skiff). They were imported via England due to the shipping laws at the time.
The first fuel injected corvette engine to come to australia was fitted to a Lewis raceboat called Nitro.
The first small block chev engine ever used in any form of competition anywhere in the world was in a 266ci Hydro called Waa Waa. Edelbrock managed to get an engine via GM before they were released.
The famous Offenhauser 4 cylinder midget racing engine actually was a derivative Miller Marine racing engine designed by the legendary Harry Miller. Offenhauser worked for Miller in the late 20's.
A guy I know has whats left of a V12 Grey motor running two Repco heads. Guys tried anything to go fast back then.
A whole pile of useless trivia but interesting just the same.

I heard a story that the Dunstan headed grey motor spent a week of its life at
the bottom of the Port River (North Arm) after the boat flipped and
the motor was torn from its mounts.
It wasn't until the next week that it was retrieved.

never driven a grey, but I cant wait,it to me is like playing a piece of fine music,,you either put a record on and deal with pure pleasure or update (tape/cd) ,maybe go a bit quicker but youll miss out on all the bits in between
I personally cannot wait to get my ek on the road probably end or 2010

Fact.
Another fact. It was kept safely for 50 years. It's currently being restored. I have some pictures, it was #1 a prototype. The head was 6 pieces not 1.
