The FE reverse rotation cranks are all designed for the rope rear main seal, therefore they have the diagonal grooves cut into the crank in the main sealing area.
When using a reverse rotation crank for forward rotation, simply have the crankshaft shop grind the grooves away. They're only a couple thou deep, so it's a simple task.
You must use the common split neoprene type seal if the grooves are removed, as the rope type will not work as well as it should if the grooves are gone. This is fine, because rope seals eat horsepower and split neoprene are about the only things you can get nowadays, anyhow.
Note that the 427 cast crank is basically the same as the 390 crank.
