Does '64 427 center oiler have side oiler features??
 
Do the early center oiler 427s that were made before the side oilers came out, have the oil passage casting down the left side of the block? Or do they look like a 390?

Is there any difference between a marine 427 center oiler and an automotive 427 center oiler?

My guess is they have all of the side oiler features. I couldn't find the information on the web.

Thanks.
John

Many marine center oilers have the side oiler casting on the block - but it is not drilled, and often cut in such a way for mount clearance so it cannot be converted.

Just to add early 63.5-64 427 center oilers do not have the side oil galley cast into the block. And all 427 blocks (both center and side oil) were solid lifter blocks until the 68 427 juice (hyd lifter) block came out.
