Thanks Greg,

I'm glad you got the joke, after I posted it I thought "I hope he doent think I'm calling him a clown".

The plenum direction depends on it Being Australian or American. Which ever country your in the intake is to the passenger side. I guessing they do it that way to allow extra room for steering and brake booster etc.

In some of the American cars they used to put the engine off centre to allow for steering. Of course if they released that model in Australia it resulted in the engine being jamed up against the steering. I used to have a 68 Dodge Phoenix [(pillarless model) called Plymouth Fury VIP 3 in the USA]. I put a 440 magnum spec motor in it and you should have seen the twists and turns the custom made headers went through to avoid the steering box.
