Proposed Engine Build...

I was going to post this in the general rotary tech section, but I think it might be better off here...

Is there any reason I can't use the following in an engine build? (Mix and match saves me money...)

Ported 12A plates, front cover, etc.,
Ported GSL-SE Rotor housings
87 FC rotors ???

Intake setup would obviously be 13B 4-port style...

K. wanted to make sure. Thanks!

probably run carb cuz it'd go in my GSL... Although the FI would work with a Turbo LIM, right? I'd be a little worried about injector size with the ports I plan to run... IF I wind up doing it...

oh yeah, cuz bolt patterns would be different for the Turbo LIM... Maybe a Holley intake manifold for an old-school 4-port 13B?

Hitachi manifold redrilled with a Nikki stud pattern is what I'm going to try next.

The Nikkis on 12As seem to like high RPM better than Hitachis on 13Bs so I'm going to try a Nikki on a non ported 4 port 13B and see how it goes.

Be sure to use the S4 front counter weight and flywheel with the S4 rotors.
