Yes, cylinders with right hand outlets have engine clearance problems, that can, at times, be overcome. Bottom facing outlets interfere with the steering column, which seems to be fatal. Don't know of anyone overcoming that problem. I found that 13/16" diameter cylinders were barely acceptable, 7/8" just too damn big. 3/4"work just fine. 6:1 pedals work fine, but are difficult to make and I know of no commercial source. I found that to do it right, a new pedal box has to be make. A lot of work.For the Tiger those solutions are great. For the V6 Alpine, steering box and valve cover has clearance issues.
Also, you will need a proper length pushrod. Summit Racing has great ones that you can cut down to the proper lengthVery helpful, thanks everyone!
