Default throttle body swap

i was thinking, i hate how the throttle body goes over the valve cover, i obviously have a 2jzGE.
is there anyway i can get the throttle body to look like the one in the 2JZGTE (running parallel to the cylinders) so that the valve cover isnt blocked?? what do i need to buy? i dont want to turbo the car... yet..

A Forward facing intake manifold... and several other things. Dont bother unless you plan on going turbo. Your car wont run as good... torque will fall off
