Are we talking about an original sideoiler, a Genesis iron sideoiler or an aluminum Pond sideoiler?
The Shelby blocks aren't sideoilers.

Now that's a solid flat tappet engine. You can hear the valves ticking and the "sewing machine" tune. I have had people ask me "is it supposed to sound that way?" |

We love them more when they use the search feature for basic info and then ask smarter, SPECIFIC questions which we're all happy to help with. Instead of repeating the same basics over and over in a waste thread.
Where to look??
OH how about the FE TALK forum?

Fair enough, I should have asked this question in the FE TALK except I wasn't sure if I was asking a question that was actually related to an FE engine or some other specific characteristic that is responsible for the "sound" of the engine that I liked. I guess I am guilty as charged but surely there is much worse a guy can do???  |

PHC-
I'm not the 'Forum Location' police here. You missed the major point I was trying to make which is to SEARCH-for what ever you're curious about.
This place is a goldmine of experience and opinion. Taking advantage of that makes you smarter, faster and usually save you money on your preferences.
Yeah so 6 or 8 guys get on and give you their answers (which you easily could have found yourself) but you're missing reams of pages and over a decade of experienced advice and knowledge.
When you've got the subject matter under your belt, then ask specific questions which will benefit you much more. And if you really want to learn about these cars, find and hang with a group of them. There's nothing like the knowledge gained by forming your own impressions.
OK now??

I'll be sure to check out some of the older posts. I'll even try that alien to me "search" feature. Thanks. |
