Yea, sorry.. I didn't notice you were a 6 porter...
The only real thing is, you have to really figure this one out.. bridged 6 ports is a lot of ports, lol. You say your going full bridge, but why? I'm not being an ***, just gauging for more information. You will more than likely have to make your own templates unless you find somebody who has already done this. I would focus on the primary ports more so than the 5th and 6th ports... not sure how the results will turn out for top end power...
Things to keep in mind.. stay out of the water jacket, and don't go so far that you have to cut into the housing... this is considered a Large bridge or sometimes a J-bridge...
Is this going to be your first rebuild ever?

BTW, why did you get a tach that reads to 8K? Our cars do that already... if you go bridge, you'll make peak power 8K or or higher, so that tach may not be what you need at all anymore....
Also, think of the power curve of the motor, porting changes all of that; if you plan to go full bridge, you may want to look into a scattershield, rb stationary gears, etc... things that you have to look at when revving the motor past 8500 IMHO...
