I have heard the same but you need to use '85 and earlier 13B rotor housings.

You have to be specific when your asking a question. You really don't make anysense. Lucky to me you do. What your friend is saying is. You could use 12A side housings with your gsl-se 13B engine. You could swap the 6 port side housings for 12A 4 port side housings. He is talking about side housings not rotor housings like your thread is saying. no big deal is just people could not answer your question if they don't understand what your asking. and yes the 12A side housings will bolt on to your se- tranny with no problem. If you use the 12A plates your going to have to take off the Fuel injection and run a carb.

Maybe you should do some research before asking a question like this cause if you did you'd know that the rotor housings and rotor on a 13B are about a 1/2" wider then on a 12A.

he's got it backwards, by putting 12a rotor housings on a 13b you're making the engine smaller. smaller engine = less power
