I bet the timing would be fun to set on that one with the headers hot.
Not to mention the routing of the plug wires...
I can understand why they went with the exhaust on that side but it does pose a few challenges. On the other side would have been tough for any kick-down linkages or throttle cable routing.
Kinda damned if you do sort of thing.
That said a turbo set-up with this would be really nice!
