If I ever get back to that project I'll have lots of info to share.

For the new guys:

This is an engine that was built for 1/4 mile duty and has very little use on it by our standards.  The previous owner made about 3 dozen runs before he switched to Chevy small block.  I bought all his 13B parts.  Need a 5 speed tranny?

I have yet to run it.  I understand via the engine builder it is good for 200-220 hp at 8500 NA with good intake and exhaust.  I also understand it will not idle down very well.  I CANNOT CONFIRM THIS YET.  This is one of many options that Pineapple Racing offers for varying degrees of porting.  I did not order it specifically for this application.

I will be using a RD-1C.

I'm trying to get back to a front cover dynafocal mount casting project I have fiddled with off and on for about 6 months.  When that's done I can bolt everything together and run it on an engine stand.

Sorry, no help here..yet.

Mike McGee,
 
    Do you have any additional info on the "Pineapple Racing" 6 port
to 4 port that you posted pics about previously ? Was that your 13B
or just one "Pineapple" was experimenting with ? Has this configuration
been run and if so is a viable mod for our A/C engines ?
 
Thanks
