Hayabusa Engine Question For Car Guys

[BHR301]

When running the Suzuki GSX1300R (Hayabusa) engine in a car (like a roadster) with a driveshaft adapter can the engine be rotated so the cylinders are vertical instead of inclined as in the motorcycle?
I know it will run just fine but I was wondering about the engine and transmission oiling systems in this orientation..

if you make a new deeper oil pan and pickup so your trans is not sitting in the oil

The oil pan is part of your issue... and the pickup... and the drains from the transmission area when you rotate the motor that far.
Custom oil pan and pickup, scavenge drain in the back of the tranny would be needed.  But why do you need them straight up? Space?  
As far as I know, no one but the bikers have ever run them straight up, and they don't leave them in that position very long...  

guess I type slower than Rick... hey wait a minute... he even does it with less fingers...

Thanks for the guys..doesn't need to be straight up was just thinking it would make a cleaner installation.

How about any handy ways to adapt a Hayabusa drivetrain to a front-wheel-drive vehicle?

It doesn't cost anything to dream.

You might look over this build and see if there is anything you can use.
