As I know someone who built reverse rotation engines and some rear wheel Honda's, I asked him. This one is reversr rotion, watch the cam gears, and notice the belt is routed differently. Most rearends cannot be flipped because of lubrication problems, 1(one) the small speedway midget rearend can be as it was designed that way. The English Ford, Escort one cannot be. Those of you that heard VTEC must think the owner wasted alot on the $8000.00+ gearbox that would not keep the engine in the power band. No VTEC on that engine, just a regular 4-valve.

things spinning at a high rate of speed (~500rpm) can give the illusion of rotating in the opposite direction. notice when they rev it up it looks like its going the other way.
i may be wrong, but i just don't buy it.

Hey man is your Fiat engine guy croft built? and keith with the reverse B16b, I presume its 1650cc also?
The new set up sounds amazing man. Would love a sequential gearbox.
I never get to see the rallys due to work but do follow times on-line.
Are you out in ulster or galway this year?
Are you class 11?
