What year did they make bridgeports and what size.... 2.4 ? ...and what horsepower did they have

Bridgeport was made available to the public 87 to 91 I believe,racers on the program got them earlier and later. Good luck!!

Hydrostreams always look fast ...even sitting still ....but with that much daylight under the boat .....im sure you was moving along in that pic

Bridgeports came with an electric fuel pump not a pulse pump, Land&Sea heads.

The numbers on the mid and the title are for 1976 175.....think thats all it is just dressed up a littel ?

No idea it's a non painted block with a pulse pump. Possible the first ones had pulse pumps but never seen one .
