Hi everyone:  My son and I have been discussing the possibilities of a Y-block marine engine and a suitable boat. Just pure speculation at this point.  I believe the Y-block marine engine rotates opposite that of an automotive engine and the cam is gear driven which would therefore turn the cam in the usual direction. Do these engines require a specific crankshaft and will a common off-the-shelf camshaft work? I know there are other things unique to this engine like wet manifolds, water pump, starter etc..  Just wondering what parts are common to the automotive engine? Everyone stay safe and thanks in advance, JEFF........................
