 GS> Jean: I think you will find a new crankshaft is needed when the motor
 GS> is turning counter-clockwise, the timing lobes and the crankshaft
The crankshaft usually doesn't matter.  However, a different camshaft 
is required.  Often, a different rear main seal is needed.  A 
different distributor should be used to keep wear on the point 
blocks to a minimum.  Finally, a reverse-rotation or bi-directional 
water pump will be needed. 
 GS> throws would all be out! A mechanical fuel pump would operate in
 GS> reverse. 
No, the fuel pump operates normally, no matter which way the 
crank is turning, unless it is belt or gear driven.
