Looks to me like it would be better off on a Mini block.
Seems to me I had seen one like that before - with the transverse engine it looked good.I guess it all depends on how it looks to you when mounted. It should be the same size - give it a try - stand back and look.
If you like it , great. At least it will be unique.
Go for it.
 
It does look like a Mini valve cover but certainly will work for your inline engine.
 
The slanted cover that U have was used on Minis quite a bit and also were used on many Formula Jr.'s as it allowed lower body lines.

Fits all A motors and is certainly 60's period looking.
 
Mine is sitting in the shop waiting on a little clearancing to clear the roller rockers. Pretty unit tho.
 
"""""""on a little clearancing to clear the roller rockers. """""

1.5: Titans will clear with a thicker v.c. gasket but not if they are offset more than about .030" to the pushrod side.

The 1.5 Sharps are offset a lot more and will no way clear even with major mill surgery.

The cheapie Moss die cast piece clears all. Certainly not designed that way...just .02thin by coincidence.
