Dammit... you guys have got too many cool toys 
. Is this the "green with envy" emoticon 
?
Plenty of pics of aftermarket Holley 2-barrel manifolds for red motors in here:
Only one manifold on the shed wall for me - Lynx red motor long runner 2-barrel Holley manifold:
Cheers,

I reckon the SUs on that homemade grey manifold could use a bloody good service,.

Just a tiny bit of Bootleggers treasure -
Posting For Dave (Bootlegger)
This is a McGee Injection and Pump Distributer Angle Drive for a Repco Gray.
It took me ten years to get it out of the guy. It came in the mail today.

Thanks wayne and blacky.
This set up came out of a hydroplane named chinook and then fast r.
As chinook with len arnott at the wheel it broke and to this day still holds the 155ci hydroplane record at 106 mph.
The repco powered grey achieved this speed at an unbelievable 8300 rpm.
I can only imagine what that little engine sounded like with its open pipes.
The next owner bob buchanan campaigned the boat as fast r for many years winning several championships around the country.

Looks awesome Dave. I'd be tempted to say you're lucky, but it was persistence and not luck that got you this setup. 
By the way, you can get a grey to hold together (at least for a little while) at high revs using the Vauxhall L model crank. It is a bit of mucking around BUT my engine builder knows how to do it, if you're interested. A good crank is cheap but the machining involved is not. However, it is much cheaper than getting a custom crank machined out of billet steel.
