The Q motor is a flywheel forward design with the distributor in the front of the block. Tell someone you have a gm 350 motor and the distributor in the front and most people will say you are nuts there is no such thing. Yes there is the Q motor good engine but can be a pain to find parts for. Intake manifolds go for outrageous money and heads can be tough to find as the 882 is used in most dirt track series cars.
