How to modify this jQuery plugin slider for scrolling and orientation?

I found a jQuery slider plugin that does almost what I need. I need to change the tabs so it is on the right side (by adding an option). Also, I would like to add scrolling to the tabs in case there is more than 3 tabs (also by an option). I am trying to make it look like this which is an artist mock up:

This is the script I am trying to modify with the code below it: http://jqueryglobe.com/labs/feature_list/

    $.fn.featureList = function(options) {
        var tabs    = $(this);
        var output  = $(options.output);

        new jQuery.featureList(tabs, output, options);

        return this;

            });
        }

        var options         = options || {}; 
        var total_items     = tabs.length;
        var visible_item    = options.start_item || 0;

        options.pause_on_hover      = options.pause_on_hover        || true;
        options.transition_interval = options.transition_interval   || 5000;

        output.hide().eq( visible_item ).show();
        tabs.eq( visible_item ).addClass('current');

        tabs.click(function() {
            if ($(this).hasClass('current')) {
                return false;   
            }

            slide( tabs.index( this) );
        });

        if (options.transition_interval > 0) {
            var timer = setInterval(function () {
                slide();
            }, options.transition_interval);

            if (options.pause_on_hover) {
                tabs.mouseenter(function() {
                    clearInterval( timer );

                }).mouseleave(function() {
                    clearInterval( timer );
                    timer = setInterval(function () {
                        slide();
                    }, options.transition_interval);
                });
            }
        }
    };
})(jQuery);

This is the CSS:

body {
    background: #EEE;   
    font-family: "Trebuchet MS",Verdana,Arial,sans-serif;
    font-size: 14px;
    line-height: 1.6;
}

#content {
    width: 750px;
    margin: 50px auto;
    padding: 20px;
    background: #FFF;   
    border: 1px solid #CCC;
}

h1 {
    margin: 0;
}

hr {
    border: none;
    height: 1px; line-height: 1px;
    background: #CCC;   
    margin-bottom: 20px;
    padding: 0;
}

p {
    margin: 0;  
    padding: 7px 0;
}

.clear {
    clear: both;
    line-height: 1px;
    font-size: 1px;
}

a { 
    outline-color: #888;    
}

Can anyone help with this?

Answer: jsFiddle: features box that slides and scrolls

Features:

• Slides over time
• Click next and previous
• Support for lots of slides
• Smooth scrolling
• Move to item on click
• Stop movement on hover
• Easily extended because it uses the cycle plug-in.

Time spent on project: 4hrs

Ok, no fancy scrollbars or anything, but it will iterate through each one bringing it to the top index. I spent ages getting this working properly. You can test it by adding additional items to the Lists.

To increase the height of the box simply change the height of div#feature_list and to add additional items simply add an additional li item in both the ul's within feature_list
