From the bolt pattern, it looks like it mounts directly to the end of cylinder head. Pretty common way to do it.

I suspect some sort of spacers would be necessary so the mounting hardware for the MSD will clear the head. You should mount the MSD with vibration isolators.

Here's how I did mine. Still have room for a ski tow too if I wanted to put one on. Seems to work pretty good with little vibration and was easy to hide most of the wiring
