Any idea if there would be any required modifications to mount a 13B so it was canted to one side by about 10 degrees to the driver side of the vehicle-lowering the spark plugs and elevating the exahust.

The oil pan and pickup would of course have to be modified. Anything else anyone can think of?

That small of an angle likely wouldnt have much of a negative impact on how the oil drains out of the rotors/irons. The oil level in the transmission may be a bit of an issue, but once you get it filled to the right level, it would be fine. Its just that the filling procedure requires the trans to be level.



What would you gain by tilting the engine that small of an amount though?

It's for a swap and I need some additional clearance. The transaxle will still be straight so thats not an issue.
