Default Throttle Body ideas and flipping upside down

I am trying to think of ways to make this TB work. With the intake I am using it puts the TB right next to the power steering pulley. I can add a spacer to the runner side or to the TB itself (that is the easy one)

What I am looking at is either I need to use a BIG spacer ( possibly longer runners) or I was looking at flipping the TB over so the cable would go onto the right side. Doing this, would it change how the TPS would read? It would turn the same way, the TPS would just be upside down...or would I need to use to TRAC TPS since it spins the opposite way.

I think it would work fine. As long as you hook the cable up the same way, the blade will still spin the same direction...

It would still spin in the same direction, so I see no issues.

Lots of people run the linkage on the right. You just need the longer throttle cable.
