Here are two pictures one of the old six port and one of the
new RX8 six port castings.


Good comparison, The RX-8 is noticeably larger. I am not that familiar
with the 6 port. I better
get up to speed! Bill

It was considered a dog but Mike McGee is taking direct action.
He removed the cast iron wall between upper and lower ports.

Can't take credit for the work, I bought the engine that way.  It had been
purpose built for racing and was in a quarter mile car.
