Thank you. I have the best machinist anywhere around this area. If it can be done, he can do it.

What is the type of boat, how old is it & how bad is it in terms of a restoration? If your selling all, you might want to list it with details in our sites Classifieds for a start..

i am confused ,in the world hear on the west coast rotation was always looking at the engine from the front. clockwiise is the standerd auto rotation. counter clock wise is usually only used on dual engine aps,which helps keep the yacht going straight.(dual engine aps have 1 prop turning oposit to the other.onley evr worked on 1 counter clockwise y aparentley the oil pump and distrib. turn the same direction as clockwise. this bit of info from a ford guy who claims tho know the marin engines well.

Regarding blower use, you may want to look at this thread from our Forum. It was started last year, but has input from this past summer. http://forums.y-blocksforever.com/Topic80044.aspx

I am having this evil thought of a front engine dragster powered by this little monster. Could I retain the Interceptor timing cover if I went that route (as I wouldn't be looking to spin a water pump)? As far as the distributor, I think if I was running locked out timing I would only need to chance the gear correct? Or even flip the advance mechanism so that it worked in the opposite direction. Anybody on here ever run a Borg Warner Velvet Drive in and out box behind a clutch??? There are a couple of small blowers for sale locally that struck my attention, but I need to keep this on the cheap so I don't know about all that nonsense... If memory serves me right, the distributor in the RH engines is the same as the LH engines and rotates the same direction for both. The RH camshaft is different simply due to the reversed firing order but it still rotates the same direction as the LH engines due to the gear to gear timing setup that’s used in the RH engines. The oil pump also rotates the same direction for both the LH and RH engines. 
I use the marine cover on my roadster to free up some the extra space in front of the engine which also accommodates moving the damper closer to the engine. The oil pan is likewise shorter at the front. Here’s a picture of the front of my roadster engine.

Ted You're right on the rotation, but my Crusader came with a Mallory distributor. Don't know if that was original butit had been in that boat for decades.

As far as I know other than the hash marks maybe being different angle is that the only thing that changes the rotations is the gears instead of a chain. With a chain both gears are turning in the same direction, when you put gears you are turning the camshaft backwards, hence the reverse rotation of the firing order. Other than Chain vs gears I think all else is same. Maybe advance in distributor rotates backwards, will have to look.

I ALLWAYS THOUGHT DUE TO THE GEAR DRIVE, THE CRANK ONLY TURNS IN OPP DIRECTION, THE CAM STILL GOES IN ORIGINAL DIRECTION, THEY CAME WITH MALLORY DIST STANDARD.

I was referring to the industrial engins that where in trucks 1952 and up, 317 and up,they had gear driven camshaft, but they where left hand or as we call clockwise rotation(from the front). the lincons had the same familey up to 1957 but they had a chain drive cam. so i wondered was the gear cut different on the cam and dsy so they turned same as the lincon for oil pump and dist. the explanation re the marine y makes sense and would be easey to make.
