4 Or 6 Port 13b
#1
I am getting ready to assemble a 13b for my 79. I am debating which to build, 4 or 6 port, since I have a 12a and 13b sitting on the garage floor. The carbs and header have not been purchased yet. What is the opinions of those who have run these set ups?

when it comes to "realistic" street performance, i'm of the opinion that it doesn't matter if you've got 4 or 6 ports. you'll get a pretty fast, reliable car with either one. it's when you start thinking in extremes that the 4 port makes a difference.
however, what year is the 13B? that may make your decision for you ...

Now why does everyone say 4 port just out of curiousity? I have a 4 port cosmo motor in my fb and would say go with the 6 port just out of the fact that the 6 port will make more power depending on what year you drop in there. Also the gaskets are really hard to find for the 4 port if you ever need one. Try asking for a 76-78 intake manifold gasket at an autozone or something, they don't even show up on the computer. Also the rebuild and gasket kits are really expensive for a 4 port, it's like 222$ for a gasket set, while it's like 138$ for the 6 port gasket set. Just some things to think about.
Also if you want to build a 4-port I have a short block sitting at the house if you want to buy it. No front cover or oil pan though.

I will use the standard 13b rebuild kit from Atkins for either the 4 or 6 port. The intake gasket is $7. for a 4 port 13b from MazdaTrix.
Thanks for the offer on short block, but I have 2 13b's from se's and 2 12 a's and a 13b from a series 4 on the floor now.
