NC How to bridgeport?

I just bought a AE86 corolla from a friend, and it has 12a in it.

I am in the process of "freshening" up the engine.

So far, I am in need of a gasket kit, along with the long side seals on the side of the actual rotor.

While I have it apart, I was wanting to do a bridgeport, but do not know how.

I googled search terms for about 30 minutes and cannot find anything about this procedure.

Any pointers?

I did some browsing, and noticed on the seconds page that a guy started to, but never showed any pics of it finished.

I noticed he used machinist die to cast the image, but it looked like a square, and nobody commented back on anything that he did.

You need the porting plate, drill and drill bits and dremel or air grinder. First you draw the bridgeport. Then use the drill and with a drill size smaller than the brigeport, begining to make a few holes on the iron following the bridgeport that you draw. Then use the dremel to join all the holes until you make the bridgeport. Then finish the work.

Thank you for the explanation.

Where might I find a porting plate?
