When you had your 12a in, did you have a header made or were you able to use a racing beat header?

you may as well full bridge it. A half bridge is all of the drawbacks of doing a full bridge, without having the complete power of the full bridge. You've already done a PP engine, so the BP is a logical step, though i'm confused as to why you havent swapped out to a T2 tranny yet?

yea i had the engine in the car already to try it out i only had to bend the lip on the frame it fits perfect in there the only thing is that i have to switch all the fuel lines and wiring to the other side because the down pipe is going to be too close
