What's up with this?????
I caught a bit of the practice from Homestead today in the NASCAR Craftsman truck series.... I see the new chebbie race engine has the distributor in the front!!!! Sure took 'em long enough to figure out that that's where the thing should be!!!!!

Sounds like a Rodney King syndrome....
What if the "Hokey Pokey" is what it's really all about?

Maybe it's a Buick engine. My Buick V6 engine with a front dist. came out of a 1980 Chev Monza.

This is the Chevy LSx motor that normally has EFI and 8 coils with computer controlled ignition. To comply with rules they have to run a distributor and carb, so they have created an adaptation off the front of the motor. I was in Bill McAnally Racing Nascar shop last month and they had a bunch of of them in there. They are great motors, 6 bolt mains, great flowing heads, all aluminum.
PatOf course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong!

The ones I saw were vertical shaft. That looks like it might be a Pro Stock motor.

Summers Bros. makes a front drive adaptor for SBC and BBC motors. I also saw a front distributor on Horsepower TV a few weeks ago. It did not look like this one.
