It may also be worth re-thinking the brake booster if you plan to run a very elaborate exh manifold.
There are a few different 240 steering columns, with the knuckle in different places from different years that you could make use of when you're chasing exhaust system clearance.
Obviously you wont run a head mounted dizzy as it just wont clear.
Having the engine on the slant also frees up some space on the intake side too so you can get creative there.
If you go vertical though, you can make use of a B20 sump for clearance but you're then thinking about mounts, etc.
I'd personally go slanted and I'd go with a real ECU rather than a hobbyist ECU like Megasquirt.
Looking forward to some progress pics!
