I assume the engine rotation is the same as a car or truck.

Odds are probably in your favor, Jeff.
The question was asked because some y-block boat applications rotate in the opposite direction of cars and trucks.
Most y-block intake manifolds have the firing order identified just in front of the carburetor...
Never assume. That's how I learned my nickname a hundred years ago... -A painful story that has forever influenced my mode of operation since!

Charlie Brown we have a saying over here and maybe its universal I'm not sure.
"Never assume, it makes an ass out of u and me!" lol

I'm chuckling, Mark. I guess some quips ARE 'universal'.
Yes, I experienced the meaning of 'assume' at 19 while also learning that there IS a reason for checking everything...
Being up against the clock, I had decided to skip the bluing check on a set of freshly ground valves and seats before head assembly... Heck, it had never shown me anything on any valve job I'd done.
When fired up, the rebuilt engine ran, BUT... After a vacuum check, compression test, and cylinder leak down test... I took the heads back off for dis-assembly because the valves seemed to be leaking!?!
IF I'd used the bluing check, the slightly misaligned valve seats would have been detected. A bent Sioux tapered valve guide pilot??? Yup. Really!
So... the importance of not taking shortcuts became evident.

Jeff: You could try (Mike) Henaults Enterprises, La Grange CA. He stocks Y-Blk stuff. Although, given the extreme dirt on the engine & limited specs, I doubt that he would pay $800.. Ph 209-852-2476. Or e mail henaults@jps. net

Pictures appear to show two engines. Unless that is a mirror. That would be why I asked about direction. It was not uncommon to have one engine turn in each direction. Not so sure about wind machines though.
