Anyone used a sideways 5.3?

[hugger6933]

There is an Impala SS in this weeks sale and I was just wondering if anyone had used a motor that was originally sideways. I figured the intake could be reclocked with the air inlet moved to the front. I don't know what else would be different I did note the valve cover was different but could also swap sides on that to make the oil fill on the right front corner. I have several 4L60E's laying around that could be used but am a little low on 5.3 motors [I have a couple DBW and a couple throttle ones] but the rest are 4.8's and they don't sell as good but I may use some on a couple of the trucks I have to build.
So the question is has anyone used one or have one to use and found out what all has to be done to turn it "halfway" around in the truck?
