Let me reiterate, the 427, top or side oiler, is in fact a very reliable and strong motor! Side oiler is of course superior.

Gessford Machine offers a service to modify a 427 for cross bolt mains for those that did not come with it. I think the first FE to come with factory cross bolts was the 406.

Question: When were the top oiler blocks discontinued, or were they? Perhaps manufacture of the top oiler continued along with the side oiler until the demise of the FE series?
