If you can, see what they did with the steering. I did some tape-measure engineering on mine - the steering column would come out right smack in the middle of the right head/block area...

Perhaps...if you went fenderless...and I don't care for the look of cowl steering on anything but race cars or race-inspired cars.

I think one of those offset chain re-drives might work...
