well bikes use seperate flanges when turbod, although with much smaller turbos and I've only seen bottom mount. They're also generally braced and very close to the frame. This one should be fine as long as he has plans on bracing it. I'm on my iPhone, but those welds look pretty good, does the stock motor have seperate flanges?

On those particular heads, yes. With two-valve engines, the intake and exhaust valves are often side by side (parallel to the major axis of the crankshaft) so there is no rule that says the ports must be on opposite sides of the head.
Many air-cooled engine (such as the VW type 1 - type 3) have the intake ports clustered together on the top, and the exhaust ports on the front and back.
