k-jet fuel distributor mounted upright.

I planning on some serious intake modifications for my 450slc drift car. does any one see any reason standing up the whole fuel distributor and air meter assembly up on its end with the air meter part on top and the distributor part below would be a problem(besides plumbing)? The intake portion where the air filter would be facing forward and the output to the throttle body rearward. now that the air meter arm is no longer horizontal would the calibration be affected by it not having gravity acting on it? Would the acceleration forces contribute enough to affect the calibration? something like the pic i've photoshopped. I know it won't fit under the hood at this point.
