I think its something hanging off the engine thats directly in the way of where a LHD assembly would go. Maybe with more support they'd fit the engine at an angle like BMW, but the I6 also means the front overhang and dash height are compromised so i guess its the easy way out regardless the reasons for dropping it. If they wanted to keep it, they'd be looking at an alloy block at the minimum, and would probably seriously consider reprofiling the bore/stroke.
