The only change you need for "Pusher" configuration is a reversed pitch of the prop.
You have to buy a prop anyway, right?
Twin engine aircraft have engines that run in a counter rotating pairing.
One clockwise and the other counter clockwise.
Proof enough that the rotation direction is not a factor.

Rob : Yes, the engine can be used in mirror image but that is for a
"pusher" configuration. You can't turn the motor for using it in the
"tractor" config.
The 'pusher' config is the same direction as mounted in a car
(automobile). Generally used with aircraft types like the Cozy etc.
that needs a "pusher engine " setup.

Turn in the opposite direction.
Exhaust on opposite side, etc.
