As for side oiler verses center oiler, I’ll just tell you this – when I was looking for a block to use in my own rig, I did not even consider side oilers. They have thinner cylinder walls, worse core shift and worse permeability than the earlier center oiler blocks. Simply put, the early blocks are stronger. Mine is a 64 center oiler, .017” over, 428 crank, Edelbrock heads, 595 HP and has never given me any trouble. No overheating, no temper mental attitudes… side oilers are notorious for overheating because of thin walls.
