Default Changin engine position?

While waiting for the supplies to get started on my AR-6 molds I decided to restore my old Polecat.. It's been thru the ringer a few times but is structurally sound.. I was looking at the engine position and wondered if it would be within the rules to rotate the engine so the muffle was at a 6 o'clock position.. This would require some mods to the front end as far as the engine cover (must be a cover because cowls aren't legal in Q40 ) but the overall shape of things wouldn't change..

Oh, the reason for doing this is to improve the relative position of the venturi to the tank..
