reverse rotation engine
i have a 502 that the customer says it is a reverse rotation. was wondering if all you have to do is change the cam and the starter also the distributor gear to turn it back to standard rotation. will be pulling off timing cover today to verify.

and the timing chain cover seal.
I wouldn't think the gear on the dist would have to be changed. In most RR motors the cam still spins the right way it's just the crank that spin "backward"
Also if the motor has been run you may have to have the crank resurfaced due to the scales on the metal would be going the wrong way.
