Thanks guys
I'll pull #1 valve cover and hope #3 moves to tdc when I spin the crank
(if I'm going in the right direction)
I didn't notice which way the starter turns before I tore it out.
I just reinstalled the motor into the boat after re-ring/new bearings -oil pump-valve job
heading back out to the shop for some more fun

When swapping parts between these engines, the most confusion surrounds the camshafts. Camshafts will interchange, but the 351W has a different firing order (1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8) compared to the 289/302 (1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8). Compounding the situation, the '82-and-later 302 HO engines use the 351W firing order.
