changing a 318 standard rotation engine to a reverse rotation engine

I need some help with the conversion, My Lyman 26 Sleeper has an original reverse rotation 318 engine and I purchased a rebuilt standard rotation 318.

I bought a new reverse rotation camshaft and know I need to rotate the pistons 180 degrees at the wrist pins on the rebuilt standard rotation engine.

I will re-use the distributer gear/oil pump shaft assy. in the conversion.

I need to know about the crankshaft, if there is some drilling needed to accommodate lubrication, also what about the front and rear main seals?

Does the new crank rear seal journal have serrations on it?
If so, which way do they slant?
