The Ilmors I know are a lot lower profile, so I'm almost positive the exhaust holes will have to be moved and I believe the motor mounts are different. Your best bet would be contact Ian at Ilmor, ilmordude on here.

the exhaust holes can be plugged and moved,on a side by side set up with BBC just make sure the crankshaft center line from port to starboard engine is 34 1/2 ''..measure this at the gimbal bearings or if he put the drives on you can get a better reading at the drives input shafts..more is ok but less the exhaust manifolds will rub...
