Will someone please tell me what direction my '47 346 engine turns. I want to turn the crank manually because the motor does not run.  When standing in front, does it spin clockwise or counter? Does the fan pull air through the radiator?  ( i'm guessing yes, wich would mean that it spins clockwise,yes.) Thank you,Bob

Doug Houston

Yep, it's clockwise, facing the front of the engine. I'm gonna say that all passenger and truck engines have the same rotation,  on vehicles on this continent. Sure as shootin', somebody will have an exception!

Single engie airplanes have CCW rotation, as I've often seen.

On boats, twin engines may be identical, but one of them rotates counter to the other.

     Is it the Brush one of his later cars that turns backwards?  Help me here.

I think some MOPAR engines turn ccw when viewed straight on.

I just Googled it Forrest, and Honda front wheel drive engines run counter clock wise, Apparently. ???

I'd expect something like that.
