    I remember years ago someone found a crated 440 or hemi engine that was used to power an air raid horn or some sort for the town and it was in storage for years.

    Many Chrysler Marine and industrial motors use a reverse rotation. If so the crank and cam won't work.

    Another good point. I'll have to watch out for that as it would certainly kill the deal

    Some of the truck and industrial engines also had an 8 bolt crank that will not mate up to a passenger car gearbox. This would not be an issue if the block is great and you change over to a stroker anyway. :2thumbs:

    Reverse rotation will not be affected if you stroke it either , if the block is good everything can be changed
