I know that most gas engines are strate up or strate down. I have a engine that im working on out of a saw. It is a 77cc and it is 5 lbs

The carb comes off the block but it is right at the botem of the block. strate in line with the jug. If I put this on my exstra 300 strate up then the jug will be ticking out the top of the cowl. If I put it state down the carb will stick out the top of the cowl. So If I put the engine off to the said, will that work? or will there be to much waight on the one side of the plane? I am looking in to makeing a new intake for the carb that mite keep the carb in the cawl but it looks like it mite be just to much work to do this.
