no. Facing the front it's clockwise. Unless you have a marine engine, some are CCW.if you face a Chrysler 440 engine from the front looking to rear of car the engine rotates in the counterclockwise direction, right? Paul
Wait a minute J, by "facing the front" do you mean 1) sitting in the drivers seat looking towards the front of the car or 2) do you mean standing in front of the car looking towards the rear? there's a difference. Paulno. Facing the front it's clockwise. Unless you have a marine engine, some are CCW.

We were all rooting for you. I was afraid you were gonna tell us you just put $10K into rebuilding a beautiful motor and put it into your car, only to find out it's a marine engine lol.OK I'm straight now.
Only if you have a manual transmission.Wait, if you put a marine 440 in a car, you go forward when the shifter is in reverse?
That's a great way of breaking tools, or having the breaker bar miss-aligned and rounding the bolt head. Harbor Frieght impact tool runs under $100, or rent one for free from Auto Zone.In all seriousness, I was thinking of how to get the crank bolt off (I don't have impact wrench). I saw on Youtube where a fellow takes a breaker bar and socket and attaches to crank bolt. Then he gets in car and bumps the starter. Presto, crank bolt screws right off. Because the 440 turns clockwise I'm thinking this method might work on my car. Has anyone tried this? The one thing I'm worried about is if crank bolt is too tight bumping the starter while bolt is held in place by breaker bar might break tooth off of fly wheel. Paul
No.. Has anyone tried this?
Bad idea. Please don't do it. It's dangerous on many levels.In all seriousness, I was thinking of how to get the crank bolt off (I don't have impact wrench).
