Please help with motor rotation

I recently had a stroke and my memory isn't the same as it was. My Doctor suggested building models to help with rehabilitation of my hand and eye coordination. I'm building a model 427 that is wired to run but I forgot which way the motor turns. Could somebody tell me which way the motor would be turning if you are standing in front of it looking toward the transmission. Thank You
I'm not stupid I used to build Chevy engines all the time but now it's even hard for me to chew solid food.

Welcome to AF. Clockwise or r/h rotation looking at the front of the engine, good luck and rehab quickly. Look at my NHRA record holding 426 Max Wedge car, I see you had a 426 64 Dodge.

Re: Please help with motor rotation

That is nice Right before I got sick we bought a brand new 06 Dodge Daytona and special ordered it with the srt8 Hemi and every option they had available. I could have bought another used car for what they charged me for the bigger Hemi. Anyway it has 178 miles on it. It's paid off and up on blocks and covered up in the garage. I can't drive anymore at least not yet. The Charger is number 198 of 1500 built.

oldman,

Welcome Aboard!

Don't feel bad. Most days I can't remember what I had for breakfast. Hurry up and get well.

In the mean time, when you get tied of gluing up plastic, you're more than welcome to spend a little time coordinating your eyes and fingers on the keyboard. We could use a little more experience in here.
