reasons for a side oiler Vs a center oiler

[55312]

I've had my 427 CO for 8 years now and it's been bullet proof. Sent it out to Keith Craft last year and now it's putting out 640 HP and 620 lb/ft of torque.

The only real draw back to me is the solid lifter cam and the new roller lifters. I have to adjust the valves every spring. But......I really don't mind.

I understand that most street Cobras with true 427s were center oilers anyway. That may have changed towards the end of production.

That is correct, cars after CSX 3300 if they had a 427, they were S.O.'s
