                  I was actually thinking about this very thing the other night as M42s are plentyful. Is there an effect on the mechanics having the engine upright?

                      x2 will this affect operation? I presume it will improve the balance though!

                      Looks awesome, can we see some pics of the engine mounts?

                          Very cool. In the pic it looks like the TB is almost up against the sheet metal of the inner fender. Do you have a fix for that or is it just a trick of the picture?

                              Very cool! I love the idea.

                              I would call MM, they might know the reason for the tilt. Could be for the oil system, space, or looks. I couldn't find any info.

                              Can't wait to see this one done!
