You can use the FD rotor housings. I had used them on my 6-port on my '90 vert.

these housings are very difficult to find used. most used ones I have seen are worn badly and are not useable. It took several sets of used housing for me to find two that were OK(not good by any means). seems the stock three piece apex seals tend to groove the rotor housings and since these cars are usually high mileage they seem to always have a groove cut in them. also the cooling systems on these car are always on the edge and if the previous owner was not on top of the maintenance and overheated the engine they may look ok and be severely warped. be sure to measure all rotor housings with a micrometer for shrinkage and don't buy any with any type of groove. or be prepared for lower compresssion and potential for blow by. new rotor housing are expensive but an immediate rebuild of a new engine would be more.
