Check out sickbikeparts for front sprocket freewheel setup, or save time and just buy a shift kit.

Yes, very possible.
I've done a few myself.
One was a Flying Merkel tribute, the other was a 1913 BSA tribute.
The easiest was the BSA, the Flying Merkel got into a lot more detail.

I have to ask the OP if he is considering installing a motorized bicycle engine kit. If so there is no need for a 'shift kit' or anything special about the pedal crank. The rear wheel hub will take care of his concern. There will be no mechanical connection between the engine drive chain and his pedals.

...Unless of course you are trying to motorize a 'fixie' back wheel, if that is the case change the back sprocket or hub or whole wheel because with a pedal side freewheel you can't pedal backwards anyway.
