If the engine was salt water cooled you will know as soon as you take the heads off and see the water jackets. They become clogged with scale and rust in short order. As for the rest of the internals they are all low performance 390 style parts and the heads are generally nothing special. As was stated earlier you are buying a block the rest of just happens to come along with it. Reverse rotation or not the internals aren't worth much when it comes to rebuilding the engine for use in a Cobra.
