       There are belt drives from Northwest Aero that will work. No need to
make it oil
        tight that way.

       Not a problem, once you get passed a fast idle. Racing Beat has a
manifold for
       an over the top side draft carb setup.

 > 2) What is the most advisable model b13 to use?

       Any 4 port engine. (unless you get a 6 port for cheap or free). The
younger the
       better. Lower miles is better.

 > 3) Can a 12a distributer be used on a 13B?

      Yes.
