This is going to be strictly a four port unit for now, yes? Any chance
there is going to be enough meat on it to reach out and cover a six
port? I believe this was discussed once and the answer back then
was no.
With the engine I'm working with I will probably just do up a
custom unit
as I don't think there are many out there looking like this. The
Racing
Beat 4 barrel Holley manifold (for sale) that was on it used this
adapter
plate that I just can't bring myself to use. The flow
characteristics into
the end sections must have been horrible.
You can see here why I want to take advantage of a 2.85
drive. This thing
should be able to breath well with the right NA induction system. I'm
leaning towards a 55 mm TWM ( http://www.twminduction.com ) m/ 2900
throttle body with ports for all four injectors. TWM has some nice
looking
off the shelf / off road throttle body components, albeit a bit pricey.
This engine was originally built by Rob Golden of Pineapple Racing in
Portland, OR.

Mike I am doing the same type of porting to my 6 port 13B. Would
you have
any additional photos of your 6 port modifications showing more
interior
detail of the port?
Thanks

Unfortunately no. I bought the engine running this way and have not had
it apart myself. You can probably get more info at Pineapple Racing, they
are the ones who built the engine. http://www.pineappleracing.com/
