" Gray Marine converted AMC V-8s for marine use from around 1956-67. Gray 

years ago - mid '90s? - at an amc meet i met a vendor who said gray
had a standing bounty with him for any 327 heads he turned up.  i was
astounded that there were enough marine 327s still runnnig around to
support that steady demand.

a few years before that, i worked with a fellow who had a big twin-327
boat.  he got it cheap after an engine fire; that engine was rebuilt
with a rambler 4bbl intake while the other retained the gray dual
carter sidedrafts.  not long into his ownership he found out how the
fire started -- the graymarine intake oriented the carbs fore and aft,
and with the tilt of the engine raw gas could dribble out of the aft
carb if the engine didn't start on the first try.
