Mike, Check my photo!
Mike,
After spending a long day at work and traveling home. I stopped at Doug Garifo's Shop (Precision Oil Pumps) picked up a his engine hoist. Had to walk around a Gen block he had sitting on a engine stand. The reason for the engine hoist is that I have time scheduled at a Dyno in Stockton CA. The motor going on the Dyno is a 63 427 center oiler that Doug and I built. I spent the rest of the night taking care of a few last minute details like installing wires and MSD Distributor. I will post pictures and update everyone hopefully Friday night. Man got my legs and finger crossed tight that everything goes well. A friend of mine Phil Featherson is going to be there to help me out. The race shop sponsors his 64 Thunderbolt (yeah its real).
Cracker, I totally respect your opinion, but as you said finding one that has not been sleaved or is in need of sleaving and a lot of work is tough. I would chose a Shelby Block over a 427 side oiler any day of the week, but hey its just me. Of course many people will say that a center oiler is actually a better block than the S.O. Glad we live in a free country so we can all pick the one we want.
