Mine was a half bridge. I am streetported now though, one of the bridges snapped off and took out a 3 month old FD housing and rotor.
I decided to go a little conservative and enjoy the car rather than risking going through another motor. You will love the sound, gotta tell ya though the camden will totally quieten down the idle, very surprising. The midrange will be great (unlike n/a or turbo'd bridgeports) and the topend will gain a bit as well (less than expected). You will need to richen up the carb, and you'll definitely need a high flow exhaust (very loud). I still have the qtec on mine, it has a bit of a tough time staying closed due to the pulse of our exhaust. If you go this route get the 3" cutout.

Was already thinking about changing the jets in the carb for bigger ones, i think the edelbrock 600 should do the job with bigger jets.
Exhaust well ive been looking for options so lets c what happens.
