Huh, is that a common thing on the Chryslers? Not that I've dealt with alot of RH rotating Chev engines but I've only ever seen gear drives in the these models along with the starter mounted in the bell housing as opposed to under the engine block.

Learned somthing new. Its a good day.

On some engines the stater position will be changed

As far as Turning the pump to change direction of the shaft . You turn the pump to match the direction of the engine ( so the pump will pump)

they never put a reverse turn engine in a truck or car so unless your dealer just happens to mess with boats , the would not know

"Cook Engine" in Portland Oregon has been building marine engines for two generations and is the preferred engine builder in the northwest, this is who I deal with, they can give you any info or ship any parts you need.

As there is a gear on top of the camshaft to reverse direction for distributor drive, the reverse engine needs a spacer to lift the common distributor up as it mates with this extra gear.
