Could you let me know a little more about this FARAUSA series that you are running in. Im local and might be interested. I went to the website you posted, but it seems hard to find anything other than pictures of the directors rides.

Question: those plates look like a 12A w/ the seal groves on the rotor housings rather than on the end-irons. What's up with that? 
Looks absolutely beautiful, btw.

Ah, what I meant was: where are you going to pull cold air for the engine intake? May I suggest something like this:
They run restrictor plates, but you get the idea. Brake duct hose that runs to the front of the car. Also, you can see they use an air/water oil cooler behind the main radiator. Pretty slick.

I was just wondering the story on why they were were reversed, was he using 12A irons and where he got the 13B housings with the grooves in them.
Where am I confused? All the 13B irons I have worked on have the grooves in them and flat sides on the rotor housings.

They are GSL-SE Housings. For the Rear Iron plate, we just double up the water jacket seal and use a new and a used o-ring for the outer seal. Works Fine. Carlos Uses it all the time.

Ahhh, GSL-SE housings. That makes sense. All the 13B blocks I've seen have been S4 or later.
Thanks for the clarification. You learn something new everyday!
