Title: Grey engine with 6 carby Post by: Laszlo on April 29, 2021, 09:17:27 AM Hi everyone !
A few years ( maybe 10+ ...) ago I read an article in a magazine about 6 carby on the grey. I lost the magazine, and I can't find anything on the net about this. If I remember they get more then 200 horsepower with this set up. Anyone has this info ? Thanks : Laszlo Title: Re: Grey engine with 6 carby Post by: mcl1959 on April 29, 2021, 09:27:27 AM I would think you would need a lot more work than adding 6 carbies to get 200 hp.
I don’t recall the article at all, but I would presume it was done more for show than go.

The six carbs sounds like the six inlets on a Dunstan, rather than the two inlets on a Repco.

Rob Title: Re: Grey engine with 6 carby Post by: Harv on April 29, 2021, 10:41:05 AM Could be a Waggot. They ran just on 200bhp. Lot rarer though.

Rob and Harv was right: Waggott set up. 210 horsepower (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210509/8225f821f6242a1386bf3c3289588fae.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210509/1a83afa823c07346e806dd63144dfb77.jpg) Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk Title: Re: Grey engine with 6 carby Post by: Laszlo on May 10, 2021, 08:42:52 AM 210 horsepower (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210509/979bf1d5afcdab5ebeb1145dae4cd8c5.jpg)
