1. Did Ford make any 8N"s with a front mounted distributor? 2. Can you chgange a 8N with a side mount distributor to a front mount distributor? I have an 8N block with a front mounted distibutor and it surprised me when I figured it out.

The first 263,843 8N's built had the front mount distributor. The next 260,233 built had the side mount distributor. The later ('50 - '52) side mount distributor block can also be used as a front mount block by installing the front mount timing cover and camshaft.

Side distributor did not come out until late 50 or early 51 so yes, there are a lot of 8N's with frint distributors. As for swapping it is complicated and best asked on the 928N board just below the Ford board.
