They can be made to work OK, but nobody we know has ever done it. Your big problem is orientation and the fabrication that would be required to work them. [As in they were set up to feed an upright straight four, rather than a flat six] They could be made to work in the same way svxfiles mounted his. Check svxfiles locker for pictures.

To be honest, if you were going this route you would be far better off to fit a new Rotrex. They are not too cheap but are very compact and can give any power you want.
