I just talked to him and yes it is a center oiler which was never drilled as a side oiler, but has the provision to be. Even still the machine work on the sleeves was $1200 the rotating assebmly, new crank, pistons etc would be $2,000. Yadda Yadda Yadda. It started as a .060 block which was never damaged and sat around for 10 years.

Here's the thing, depending on the heads this thing will make about 11-11.5:1 compression. It will be quite an engine for someone.
