Bridgeport?

I was offered these for my old n/a motor. Ive seen pics of bridgeports online but never this. Also a little confused on the center iron port. Any help is appreciated.

I would also like to verify that these are 4 port as well


Front Iron





Center Iron



Rear Iron




Exhaust Porting

ummmmmmmm, it looks to me like the "bridge" part of that port is literally RIGHT where the corner seal sweeps. also, who did the porting? its terrible. if you look at the shape of everything, its very rough, doesnt look like they stoned or sanded the ports....
anyways, i would pass on those irons, they look terrible.

Wow. I have not seen a cheese ported engine in a long time.

It looks like the position of the holes is OK as far as seals are concerned, judging by the wear lines on the irons. But the irons are junk anyway.

That exhaust port is what you would expect on a full PP race engine making power at 10K+. Also the housing is junk, judging by the big chip out of the right side near the exhaust port.

The center iron was ported to make later closing. I can't tell if it goes into the oil o-ring area but it still doesn't look good. I'm going to call junk on it.

Looks like they were ported by an untrained dog and a chisel.

That's called a "drill port" and it's silly.

The exhaust port is also mondo-ridiculously-large.
