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

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.

200 ponies would mean either a crossflow (Repco) or rotary (Dunstan) head. The six carbs sounds like the six inlets on a Dunstan, rather than the two inlets on a Repco.

I'd be inclined to say a twin-cam Waggott head.  There was a lot of other magic including a seven-main-bearing saddle plate and stroker crank.

Could be a Waggot. They ran just on 200bhp. Lot rarer though.
