Here's an interesting article on a side oiler at only 433 cid. Near stock stroke (actually short throw), larger bore. We hear so much about "mega cube" motors these days it was refreshing to see what a near stock bore/stroke FE with some "good stuff" could do.
670 flywheel horse, not bad... My original side oiler was very much like these specs, except high compression (12.5 to 1) and race gas. It made 667 horse.
"Plan B", a high-riser FE made with leftovers, shelf parts and running pump gas. Plan A was a SOHC that didn't work out.
