Clearly interest by all the suggestions. I'll buy one.
If the intake is moved to the other side will there be distributor clearance issues? And if you raise the intake to clear the dizzy will there be hood clearance issues? I don't know, just a thought.
If your going to modernize the head might as well fix a bunch of other items - doesn't cost any more while the patterns are being made..

If there is a clearance issue - easy to fix - lose the distributor and run COP ignition - check Gary Hart's Jimmy...
Way more accurate timing and better spark.
Put injector bosses directly in the head so the injectors spray hits the back of the intake valve. For non-efi use put a plug in the hole.
Provision to reverse flow the coolant
