which way does the engine rotate

Looking to put a 2005 LSJ engine into another car. Which way does the engine rotate when viewed from the water pump/alternator side? Clockwise or counterclockwise?
thanks

no hondas not the only one that did that. the corvair also spun backwards. there are others out there, its just not that common. and only the older hondas spin backwards (d and b series), the k and j series spin clockwise like most other engines
