Looks like maybe somone put a FB motor in it. Which is 4-port. Which would explain the lack of port actuators. Look by the oil fill tube on the top of the rotor housing(the aluminum part). Does it say 12A or 13B?




wait a tick... lets say it is a FB motor:

if it was a 13-b out of a GSL-SE then it would be a 6 port right?

if it was a 12-a then that intake manifold wouldnt fit right? that is a six port 13-b manifold there.



hope we can get this worked out so we can help him with his stumbeling problem.

The winsheild wiper motor is on the wrong side. The brake booster is on the wrong side....

I imagine the topic starter is from Europe or Aus. The European FC didnt have rotating sleeves for the 6 port, it had plates like a throttle instead.



It also came with the distributor in place of the CAS. And yes it is a 6 port

Thanks for all the help everyone i'ts been very useful.



To answer a few questions the car is english, thats why the brake master cylinder and wiper motor are swapped round.



It says 13B on the two rotor housings.



There does not appear to be any small arms sticking out of the lower inkake manifold so i don't think the actuators have just been removed.



As for modifying the engine, a previous owner has removed the air conditioning pump and fitted a new dual exhaust system.

That is a European model. They do not have actuators. What they do have is butterflies installed in the lower intake manifold. I am pretty sure the actuator is located in between the 2 intake manifold halves. This is the best possible 6 port engine for a streetport or bridgeport since the end of the auxiliary ports are not squared off. I have been hunting for a couple of these plates for a project but they are hard to find.

Do the Euro LIM have the ACV and stuff on it?

Because those manifolds would make it easier when turboing an N/A block. You wouldn't have to make a spacer for the turbo.
