   Much mo'bettah you should change the rest of the car to negative
   ground.  ... About all you'd have to change is the heater blower
   motor and the starter, and you may be able to modify those, I 
   guess, or just trade them for similar units off a later, 
   negative-ground car.

No need - most all automotive motors use electromagnetic field coils
as well as armatures, and will spin the same direction no matter which
way you apply the power. Joe-bob says "check it out"!
