Engine identification question?

[Brootal]

I was asked today if there were any other motors that had a vertical front-mounted distributor OTHER THAN the Ford small-blocks.

I couldn't think of any off hand and I can't seem to find my Chilton's manual which might have the info.

Anyone (enjenjo?) got any idea?

Per this Eng Dim page http://carnut.com/specs/engdim.html

AMC 304/360/401 are front mount but slant to drivers side.

Buick/Olds 215 are front mount but slant to drivers side.

Cadillac 425/472/500 are front mount but slant to drivers side.

FordMerc 49/54 Flathead are front mount but slant to passenger side

Ford/Merc 32/48 are front mount but stick out the front.

Mopar B Block are front mount but slant to passenger side.

Mopar Hemi are front mount but slant to passenger side.

Ooops, that's Mopar B/RB and Mopar Late Hemi.

Waited to long to edit.

My dad's 62 Rambler Ambassador 327 Rambler engine had a front mounted Delco distributor.
