I noticed a car in the classifieds with a Dominator mounted sideways. Are there any problems with doing this, as far as streetability, idle problems, or anything else? Obviously the fuel lines would need re-arranged.

How would the throttle cable be routed?

My lower back aint the strongest, just trying to make jet changes easier, like my old tunnel ram was.

All you need is a lokar cable or a stock cable thats is long enough. No bonus to it except like you said the bowls are easier to get to.

I almost forgot, if you do this make sure you take your jet extensions out of the secondary side!

I do have a Lokar cable. Good idea on the jet extensions.

The reason for doing this is typically to eliminate the usage of the jet extensions. I have a stock cable and bellcrank on mine. Ken Jones carbs typically are mounted sideways and they work extremely well
