Is this a reverse rotation motor?

If you have owned an inboard with twin motors counter rotating motor was my first thought. I know on GM Mercruiser motors the block is the same casting but there are machining differences. EZ way to tell if there are no markings on the motor, the starter if it is still on it will be a reverse rotation. Usually a metal tag under an intake bolt will tell the story.

Reverse rotation! Would you have 1 forward gear and 5 reverse? That would be cool! It's hard to shift when you're looking back though!

Don,

Actually you would mount the motor in the trunk and then make the rear wheels the ones that steer. Just think of all the trunk space you would have then where the motor would normally go.

All you have to do is move each spark plug wire up one hole in the firing order on the distributor and it will run in the right direction.
