12a and 13b combination?

Of course, if using 86-up N/A housings, then you also need to cut out the diffusers in the exhaust ports.

SE and later have oil injector holes in the rotor housings, as do some non-US spec 12A rotor housings from that era.
Also stay away from the SE center iron if you want to run a carb. The tiny ports don't let you port it much before hitting water.

Well that was one of my biggest blunders of late. Don't ask what I as thinking when I posted that reply, cause apparently I wasn't. Jeff's 100% correct, I don't know where my head was at, but it was dark.

Good matching rotors and counterweights/flywheel from any 13B, 89-91 N/A rotors are usually preffered, higher compression ratio, unless planning a turbo later.
Good e-shaft from any 13B, but pre-86 is usually preffered, due to no "Thermal pellet"
Beyond those parts, you will also need an intake for whatever type of induction you desire, and the exhaust manifold for turbo or header, a full rebuild kit, plus a few other odds and ends needed to complete the build.
Since you will have the engine apart, might as well choose what type of porting will suit your specific goals and HP needs.
