housings

i have a gslse 13b that im building up, but i need new housings. what other housings besides the gslse ones will work? or do i have to get them from a gslse motor? ill probably end up buying new ones, but i want to keep options open incase i find a good deal on some used ones. i dont see why other models wouldnt work, maybe the water jackets are different?

i think you can use the 86+ 13b N/A housings. i may not be correct.

you just cant use the 12a housings

i know the tii and n/a housings are interchangable because when mazdatrix does exhaust porting, they throw out the n/a housings and exchange for tII housingsb ecause they dont have the diffuser in there.

they moved the water seal in 86 so everything from 86-02 you cant use. and out of the ones you can use 74-85 13b the gsl-se ones are the best
