I'll be honest that picture looks like its the plugs are facing back... the firewall is to the top left and from that view it appears they are slightly slanted towards to the top left of the picture... but maybe its my mind playing games. I can't believe they would flip the plugs direction between stock e7's and the gt40's. I'm not positive though so don't hold it against me.
It really doesn't matter. Each head is the same as the other. If the plugs are facing foreword on one side, they'll be facing back on the other. Now, gt40p's have a less aggressive angle than e7's and gt40's. The angle is almost perpendicular to the head.
Does this answer your question…or is there something else your trying to accomplish which is not being understood?

They ARE side specific. Look at the cooling jackets, they are different. The back of the head has an additional port that the front does not have. If you put em on backwards you will have all sorts of cooling issues. Ask me how I know.....
edit... apon re-read I used cobra GT40 heads, not P heads. Maybe it doesnt matter on the P heads but on regular GT40s it DOES matter.

Nope....both heads are identical. They both have cooling ports on both sides. The head gaskets are what blocks the cooling ports off on the front of the engine. They both have accessory holes on both sides as well. Now, P heads do not have the thermactor holes on the backs of the heads while the gt40's and e7's do. The fronts of those have the thermactor holes also….they are just blocked off with a plug. If you get the e7 or gt40's reversed you will have to take the thermactor plugs out of the back of the head and stick em in what now would be the front.
