The tranny does not care which direction the motor spins, only the pump.Remove four bolts spin the pump 180. If this is not done the tranny will not work.

No, they would not run the trans in reverse. I think there is a indexing mechanism that has to be changed for it to run left hand. I am not sure how to do that, but, I have seen it mentioned on various posts on this site. And, as you already know, it would also involve going with a LH prop.

if this was changed they would have had to change the trans also right surely they would have not just changed the shifter and run it in revese to go foward

I have a '76 Southwind. It has a RH engine as stock. I am pretty sure they all did. If you stand behind the engine as it runs, it should turn to the right. A std car engine would turn to the left.
