I have always been told these 2 engines are basically the same. I am in the process of rebuilding the 4-75 for a '46 Century Sea Maid.

I am assuming these engines were installed backwards with the flywheel to the front? If so the "FRONT" on the pistons means, towards this flywheel?

Appreciate any help.

I don't have much experience with Continental but their competitor Hercules sold their engines as short blocks. When you pull one apart the "front" arrow points to the reverse gear.
