The item is a Tawco  combination inlet and exhaust manifold to suit Holden Grey powered boats, the Tawco units enable the manifold to be used as either a single carb or triple carb setup depending on the requirements of the owners. They are water cooled to prevent too much excessive heat when used under the engine covers. They were made in Victoria.
Other parts that you may see from time time is water cooled sumps, and cylinder heads that have been drilled  and tapped over the exhaust valves to enable a manifold to be screwed onto the head to assist in getting the hot water away from the head. I have also seen flywheels that have had most of the flywheel machined away leaving little more than a place for the ring gear. (for racing boats with direct drive)
