Drivers side manifold on Passanger side head (3.0)

Just wondering if the driver's side exhaust on a 3.0 will bolt to the passanger's side head. The idea is to have the exhaust exit down and to the front of the block. Kinda where the AC compressor would be.

Are the exhaust ports on a 3.0 symetrical or would I have to worry about the ports and bolt holes not lining up or something?

Why do you want to do that?!

I couldn't tell you if they are symmetrical or not. Probably so, but that's a wild guess.

It won't work. The flange pattern won't line up.

You really don't want to do this, anyway. All that heat at the front of the motor is bad news.

And, what is it you're trying to accomplish by routing the exhaust to the front?
