RE: Do 2-stroke engines run clockwise
If you have an engine with a bolt on front bearing assembly, you can bolt that on at a 90 degree angle and it will be timed close enough to run backward. Sadly not many engines are made any more with bolt on front ends, the K&B .40 is the only one I can think of off had. But many older engines that can be bought off of this auction site and that other all purpose one.
