Have a REVERSE rotation 350/ 260hp 380 hours

[vtdrew]

Hi all,

I have a pair of engines from an 89 san tropez. LH rotation needs a rebuild as it took on water, RH(opp.) is fine, 380 hours. I got them because I want to repower my 5.0 Alpha one Bayliner with a 350.

But, It would take a bit of doing to reverse its rotation.

Or have suggestions about how to reverse it. Thanks!
Sorry, no buying or selling in the forums.
We do have a classified section for this.
Thanks

The cam and distributor gear are the only differences for RH rotation. Easy to convert. And use the accesories from the 305(alt, p/steering etc)


p.s to moderator-he's not trying to sell anything-read the posts before passing judgement.

A lot of people have been naysaying about the switch.

I think I've done enough research to agree with you. Also It helped to have the sister LH engine to compare to.

Have you done a RH to LH?

No, I've done LH to RH though. It's really no big deal. Like I said it's a different cam and a different distributor gear and the firing order on the cap goes from counter-clockwise to clockwise, in your case. If the cam and distributor are good in the clockwise rotation engine you can just use them and it should be a cheap change as well. Did you just get the engines or did you get the outdrives as well?
