I say it is a center oiler marine block. The side oiler passage is machined into for the motor mount. I don't think that is typical for the side oilers.

The motor was in a 1969 mustang 428 CJ, I was told the 428 seized or something in 1972 and the owner replaced it with this 427. It would now appear he only replaced a short motor, here are some more photos of the rear oil holes to help determine the motor. |

Based on your pics, looks like the block is a hyd cam block. Do you know if the proper steps were taken to accept a solid cam? You indicated that you have a solid cam in it.

I could be incorrect re solid cam, paperwork indicates the cam type as mechanical/solid type profile, refer photo. The cam was reprofiled to compensate for the drop in compression to give similar performance figures. The engine builder is well known in the competition engine building. |

That looks like a solid lifter flat tappet cam to me with the specified valve lash. |

The last pictures show it is certainly a side oiler that is capable of using hydraulic lifters.
This increases the value. It's not collectable, but is desirable for many.

My galleries were plugged for my solid cam, but a lot of builders like to leave them open for the lubrication -- even with plain old solid lifters. |
