That is pretty sweet.



So let me get this straight. To P-Port you basically just drill a big-*** hole in the rotor housing and fill in the original ports, and put some sort of "runner" in said new big-*** hole so you can bolt an intake to it. What needs to be done for cooling?

Is that a 12A or a 13B? Looks like 13B waterpump/front cover, but the housings look too narrow in the picture for a 13B. How ya gonna mount that puppy?

There's an extra stud for the 13B waterpump, and I believe the front cover has more dish for clearance of the aluminum pump housing. The aluminum is about 5 pounds lighter, tho, if not more (going off memory... its fuzzy).



If you got a 13B center iron and did a FC subframe swap it'd be perfect, tho! lol
