the carb is completely adjustable. You can unscrew it and turn whatever you need to. This is a non-issue

The carb isn't attached to the engine out of the box (or at least, it wasn't for me). When you assemble it, have the engine in the truck so you can make any adjustments to it before tightening it down.
It will help a lot if you have a radio system that has end-point adjustments. The stock throttle linkage is set up to move less than you'll need for the Picco. The carb on the Picco has a longer barrel than the 3.3, meaning the linkage has to move more. I managed to jerry rig it with a longer servo horn, but you should be able to use the stock linkage if you have EPA.

Yeah +1 to both posts above me. Carb is a non issue, whether its attached or not. Take it off, rotate 180, done!
