US Navy had a conzillion of them. WWII landing crafts had two. The blocks are symmetrical along with many other components. You can build a mirror image left hand turning 6-71 with less than one hand of different parks. Take the fuel pump, take a plug out of each side and reverse the check ball and spring and put to two plugs back in.
I corrected and earlier statement. There was not a 8 cylinder head.
LOL, more than once a driver would power out, kick clutch in just before it stops and exhaust starts blowing out the air cleaner!
We kept two boards and rags one for each end of the intake air box in the engine room to snuff out a run away engine.
Most that I was around had a spring loaded damper that would shut off air flow if engine picked up false fuel (You don't use the mounted compressor to power a paint gun. Alcohol was involved) But if the engine was running backwards, the emergency kill would not work exhaust pressure just push open. Just stick it in a high gear drop the clutch.
