I have a friend that is looking to sell a nice '62 Willys pickup with a V8 conversion. I am trying to ID the engine. On the surface, the engine looks like a Chevy small block, but the distributor is on the front right. However, there is an apparent mounting area for a dizzy in the left rear, too?? The distributor is mounted in a Pete Jackson aluminum housing that also spaces the water pump away from the block.

Help is requested, please.

Thanks, Russell

Firing order on the intake is certainly SBC, looks like it has an aftermarket drive on the front for a distributor, back is certainly plugged with what looks like a dummy drive, gear driven to spin the oil pump.
Possibly one of these
