I have dual crusader 454's in my 36 SS. HE are mounted on the front, but only barely fit into the engine compartment. I am contemplating on locating threm off of the engines.
Those sound like crusaders. It also sounds like the motors were converted from raw water cooled to fresh water cooled with the exchanges mounted on the side. Although I have seen remotely mounted exchangers on new engines due to engine room space. As far as the reverse rotation. I recently did some research into that. As of the mid 1990's GM did away with reverse rotating engines and relied on the transmission manufacturer to do the reversing. The best easiest way to figure it out is to look at the shift levers on the trannys. Using the helm controls, shift both trannys into foreward. Now look at the shift levers. If they are both moving the same way, then one engine is reverse rotation. If they move in opposite directions the reversing is done in the tranny.
