Hello, I am new to these engines. I have an old boat project that I have decided is just too far gone to mess with. It has a 215 hp 312ci Interceptor in it. It is a Right Hand Rotation engine.
My question is can you convert it to a left hand rotation simply with some minor crankshaft machining and swapping out the timing set and camshaft, or is the crankshaft a whole different animal?
These cranks are getting hard to find and costly. If memory serves I believe this engine has a forged rotating assembly. It would make a really cool rat-rod engine or maybe stuff it into a Ranger
or something retarded like that...lol. Any help in this area would be greatly appreciated! Thank you...
