This is what he told me a while back (archive)

I emailed him some 6 months ago about how his project was coming along and he said it was halted and he was heading into a new direction with a single supercharger. The head fit fine on the right side with a slight grind here/there but because it would have to be turned around so the intake/exhaust ports would be on the correct sides the machining to allow the camshafts to come out the front and somhow plug the camshaft openings which would be facing the firewall proved to be impossible. Assuming this could be overcome special camshafts would have to be manufactured with the lobes sequences reversed end to end and to place the timing chain sprockets on the proper end.

Now Carl T did say recently that the S70/2 engines were available and in stock from M for around 100 large.

This sounds like a question for Mikael Borgstrom. He was investigating putting 4-valve M-heads (M3 i think) on his CSi. The problem seemed to be with the 'mirrored' head.
