Early 580 West Bend I assume. You will need a flywheel and cam for the points.
I have seen some flywheels key'ed for reverse rotation. It's not hard just sit down and think it through.

If you let me know just what engine or engines you are talking about
I will tell you what you need to change the rotation on them.
