Default clockwise b-series

I do some search on google but I can't find some concrete information about this.
I have a little project in my head but I need some info to run a b18 clockwise.

So the point that I have to look
Lubrification, external oil pump or its possible to make the oem work
Cooling, electric water pump?
Cam shaft, need a regrind or its possible the run clockwise
Firing, can a use a stock dizzy and move wire location to have the good cylinder firing timing

Thank in advance

I toyed with this a while back, to try and use a proper 4wd tranny.. Unfortunately there are a few problems, as you say;

1- the cam lobes need to be symetrical, and the dizzy is offset on the cam- so you would need some form of an adapter i would think.

2- cam belt tensioner is on the wrong side of the belt

3- electric water pump

4- dry sump or external oil pump

*getting expensive now

5- the pin though the piston is off centre, to aid crossing tdc. to fix this you can rotate the piston 180deg, but the valve reliefs would then need work

6- also, the oiling of the crank is done bearing in mind that the force of combustion is occuring in a specific area, by reversing the engine, this area is moved- you wont be getting the designed amount of lubrication

hopefully this helped...
