Well yes and no... the crank is less of a problem than the cam and gears..they have to be changed to a standard rotation ( car ) cam and gears..the crank can be used if you have a machine shop grind ( polish )off the nearling by the rear seal..another problem is if it was used in salt water..A serious corrosion problem there..And not all marine engines turn reverse...A stern drive motor is the same rotation as a car.. only single engine inboard and the right motor in a twin engine inboard powered boat. rotate reverse rotation .A lot of the mopar engines were used by Volvo penta and were used with stern drives and are standard rotation,,even the twin engine boats with stern drives are both standard rotation

Thanks, I'm not a boat person so bear with me. If the motor is not running, how can I tell if it is car rotation or otherwise?
Can you string some jumper cables in and just crank it? If it's inboard, direct drive, is there a prop on it? (You can wrench the engine over and make sure the prop turns the same way, then figure rotation from prop pitch)
