Wrong way on a B series, yeah, but it doesn't matter, shove the gearbox on the other side, it's been done before...
K Series however
26* slant and everything
But then - it'd end up so custom - driveshafts, engine mounts, management, exhausts, cocking up the handling... It's not worth it, the Peugeot XU is a GOOD engine, the J4RS head is an epic head as standard, you've just got to remember they're NOT VVT/VVL - they're nigh on the highest output NA non-VVL/VVT engine you can get from the factory - just needs a bit of work and time and they're a REALLY good engine...
The B series aren't all that reliable when you boost them... The K series is a great engine but then you're looking at £1k for a bare engine alone... You could put that towards some shiny bits for an XU/EW and be there in no time at all.
