Moneypit; above said 427 motor came without carb, STARTER and wet stack exhaust.
We never ran a reverse rotation motor in the normal rotation direction causing reverse oiling. As posted above replaced crank, a little thinking about installing a HV pump was used. Sorry your years behind on this rebuild as we would of never got it to run without you, LOL. Just a dumb azz A&P here.

That is an Idea. That would allow me to leave the transfercase right where it is. saving me the hassle of drivline angle issues. and it would work well in a 2wd situation as well. hmm good ideas thanx

I've seen the oil pump deal first hand when someone was mixing and matching twin power plant SBCs. Primed the oil system with a drill, but as soon as it started the oil pressure disappeared, re primed, disappeared.......etc. etc...Std rotation oil pump on the reverse rotation engine and vice versa......Live and learn....aMP

The rear main oil seal area on the cranks have shallow angled slash grooves to that help pull the oil back into the motor, run in reverse rotation causes the opposite, a small oil leak.
