Thanks Gentlemen, Here are additional photos and info that I have.  Additionally the Detroit has a 1C1 cast on side, 5BC2 on the top and an 801 on the bottom. |

Robert, Your answers were on the tags. They are both fairly common engines and make good runners. Information on the Detroit can be found: http://antiquengines.com/Detroit_Engine_Works_Menu.htm Scroll down to the Marine engine section for lots of information. The Gray shares characteristics of US Falcon and Bridgeport engines. http://www.oldmarineengine.com/discus/messages/3431/1467.html Jim |

Thanks to everyone! I am amazed at the help and information that the members provided. A Classic engine builder came and picked them up To restore. Once I get the video I will try to post it. Thanks Robert |

Generous man! Someone got a nice score there, particularly the very complete and original looking Detroit, a much older engine than the Gray/Universal. |
