Does anybody know Graymarine motors. While looking at some old woodie boats I came across a Graymarine 427 c.i. straight six. I found several shops that still service,rebuild,and custom build these motors. It seems there were many Graymarine powerplant options and all seem to be GM based.

Sounds like a 6-71 Jimmy diesel to me. Graymarine converted thousands of these during WWII.

He said it's a flathead, therefore no Gimmy.
