I recently found an odd engine someone had dropped off with the scrap iron at our local dump...
Anyway, I took a quick look at it, and am planning on grabbing it out of the pile tomorrow. What struck me as odd was that the engine said GM (followed by a number) on the rear of the engine, right behind the intake manifold, but the distributor was on the front of the engine. Other than that, it looked mostly like a standard chevy small block. It did have what appeared to be a giant single-barrel carb. It looked like the block was a little wider than normal, but I think that was just because the carb was so narrow (in relation to what I've seen before).
Does anyone know of any GM motors with the distributor in the front?
