It would help to move the fan aft. This creates two big issues:
1- It would cause decklid interferance
2- it would make for some real challenges with belt geometry.

Look at a 911 engine and note haw far the fan sits from the first two cylinders- its drastic and makes a huge impact.
Air doesn't like to bend 90 degrees.

It is interesting how after my test work was revealed how many shrouds have changd in some ways to benefit the 2-4 cylinders more. That didn't used to be a consideration ;-)
