The previous post on this topic got me wondering. Just how different
would the two engines need to be? I'm no expert, but it seems to me cam
shaft(s), magnetos, and prop are the parts that would be different from
one side to the other. I almost forgot, reverse the polarity on the
starter motor. What am I missing?

Camshaft as you said.
Crank - they drill the holes for the oil to the rod bearings in a different
spot.
Magneto - the impulse has to work in the other direction. I don't know if
there are changes to the points for avaition applications.
Oil pump - has to pump in the other direction
Starter - the bendix is different, the brushes are re-located
Alternator - it may have a different cooling fan
vacuum pump
Prop as you said
Mechanical Tach, or the drive (I assume)
