A possible change of attack on the Fried liver attack

I'll make this short & sweet

Normal fried liver attack:

 

A slight change in attacking order:

The worst I can see happening is that they play Ke6 after that knight move, and you move into normal fried liver lines. Best that happens, they blunder with Be6.

Thoughts?

Black can seize an initiative with Qf6, if white takes then black has a reasonable pawn center with pressure down the g-file, and the ability to castle queenside, if white trys to prevent castling with Qh3 then Bc5 grabs the initiative again.

 

Edit: black cannot castle, but can move to d7 or e7 to bring in the rook

I found 3 games with the 7.Nc3 line.  Here is the shortest game of the three.
