bridge port reliability

what would be the reliability on an 87' NA witha bridge port, like how many miles would it last and would it make power at?

dude have you ever owned one???????

i had a 1st gen with a extended bridge port it idled a 1700-2000rpm power at about 5k-9k (depending on what carby or injection your running) and that was with my long primary system with my old short system it came on earlier but wasnt as good in the hi rpms
it should last at least 100.000kms(90k miles)

the idle you described is more like j-port or pp

here I was with the impression, that you can't BP a 6-port

You should run a search on this. There was a pretty long thread on bp's reliability somewhere. I think it would present a lot of helpful info. from both sides.

Same here, I thought it was impossible (or at least highly impractical) to BP a six port engine.

The only time I've ever heard of a BP on a 6port, is during SCCA cometition. Some shady people will BP their 5/6th sleeves, so they sound stock @ Idle, but onces the secondaries open, they have that much more.

If I had some templates, and my engine was still COMPLETELY apart, I'd do that myself.
