Very simple. On the other hand, one can fill the cavity in the rotor housing with epoxy and move the face portion (the part in the rotor housing) of the bridge port well away from the cast iron and replicate the area of a peripheral port while using the stock looking manifold, or part of one. This uses the epoxy filling as one side of the intake runner for an inch or so. If I can find one of these, I will send along a picture. So you can have the peripheral port on the inside of the engine and have no indication of it on the outside. This scheme would still require the four tube runner system that many already use. For full effect, the runners in the cast iron would have to be opened up dramatically. But that would be another option. Lynn E.

Very informative. Bridge between side and rotor housings. A wonder that the=20= round side seals and apex seals stay in place.

For our application I would guess that a combination of a peripheral port an= d standard or street ported side ports might do the job, since we mostly any= way  make our own intake manifolds.

Probably too much complexity, the true peripheral port (even a home made ver= sion) allows for a two tube intake system. Very simple.
