<< BTW get me up to speed on what is happening in the SCCA. How many classes
 are running Mazda rotaries?

The past three years C sports racing has been won by a Drummond built 12A.
E production is hotly contested between A 6 Honda Preludes and several first
generation RX-7s. Four years back, A tube frame late style RX-7 won GT-3 (my
class). There are Mazdas in GT-2 but there is not enough power against the
Nissan V6s. and Porsche 928s. 

There was a late style in T-1 in Northeast Division
that always out ran the Corvettes at Pocono but cars over three years old
can't compete anymore. Formula Mazda is very popular. All of the engines are
built by Drummond,
and he keeps everyone at 160 HP. They can change jets and timing. That's all.
Some very close racing. Some of the poorer drivers run them for two or more
years with little loss in power. There are first and second generation RXs in
Improved Touring, and at the regional level there is a Spec. RX-7 class. Just
for first generation cars. There is a driver named Pinger in GT-3 with a very
old tube framed RX-3 built in Mandeville's shop. It has tremendous power, and
always outruns us. Mr.
Drummond says Pinger uses 93 6 port cast iron with 12A housings. He says it
is stronger at the top but has no midrange. It looks good to me. I would sure
like to see those side ports. If you tell me what format to use I can send
you, or the list pictures of my cooling system, or ports or whatever you
might want to see.

You want to see 93 or later six port end housings? I thought all 93 or later
had sequential turbo chargers and four ports. Maybe they came from Japan. I know 
a guy that has a late 13B Cosmo engine he might sell. Not Bulent. The 13B Cosmo has 
about the biggest stock side ports you can get. Bulent is your engine apart?

Here is a picture of Bulents engine. These are the stock 13B Cosmo ports. 
They are not ported. 

BTW Lynn do you know of anyone that is grinding out the partition between
the top and bottom port on a six port end housing?
