IDF Carburetors on Transverse Engines

It is my understanding that IDF were designed for longitudinally configured motors only and would suffer from fuel starvation when used in a transverse application. Does anyone have any information on suitable float/chamber modifications to alleviate this problem?

Many thanks in advance for you response.

Indeed Guy, that would be the simplest solution but it's that old eligibility issue again, getting in the way of common sense engineering solutions.
