You can get just about as much HP with a BIG streetport than a bridgeport, and get better reliabilty and not as much porting. Just a thought. Buddy of mine gets 275 HP out of his 12a streetport at the flywheel.

If your not doing it yourself, in my opinon the best thing for you to do is just go buy a engine ready to go. Will be cheaper in the longrun. Carl

Buy an engine already built and sell parts of you other motor to help pay for it. Carl

No offense, but you need to read around in the Rotary Engine Building&Porting section. All off these questions are already answered there.



Good luck with your decisions.
