Actually we located it about 7 years ago now, and did some horsetrading and my friend from Oshawa wound up up with it and still has it.
Sounds like you were in a perfect spot to see and take all those runs in.
Good times for sure

If I remember correctly the marine motors run in the opposite direction than the ones put in vehicles...so a few things need to be changed to use one in a car....crank, oil pump, distributor...etc.
I think only when in pairs

My take on this is that originally the engine was modified to run counterclockwise as a lot or most marine engines do.
I have seen 440's modified in this fashion. The difference being the camshaft of course.
Dads boat had 400s and when they went bad we replaced each building up with parts (cheaper) both had timing chains but one cam had lobes ground in reverse so both were re-ground. The gear on cam-oil pump drive were backward. Cranks rods and pistons were the same but backward crank had the oil serrations opposite (we re-used the cranks, steel) as said above Both distributors turned same direction (oil pump HAS to turn normal direction) one starter turned backward (direct drive type) we installed fresh water system, salt ate the other cast iron up.

That's to keep the distributor drive gear from pushing on distributor shaft. The reverse rotation wants to make distributor /oil pump drive pop out cam gear.

Mr Hemi...you are in all probabilty correct.
We were told by the gentleman with the engine that it was from Miss Budweiser, when was likely from Miss Chrysler Crew as you mention.
Some pics of the motor.
