not really, the whole intake system is kak, you would need to remove or relocated the alternator, pas pump first and start with a clean sheet from the heads up.
Its an engine where you would go round in a big circle fixing each weak point then finally realise the whole thing is weak and was never worth it.
Mild tuning is fine tho, it is a big lazy v6 that can be made to give a fat chunk of power (mean average of 160bhp at the hubs) between 5000-7000, it may not sound much in numbers, (but numbers cars aren't always fast) but it makes a lovely drivable motor with great reliability.
