If you can find a Lemans block it will have the best oiling journals and a higher content of steel in the casting. They are out there - just takes time to find them.
hope this helps

Thanks Ron,
At this time I'm looking for a complete car and filtering them out based on their engines, attention to detail, options and build quality throughout the car. So far I've narrowed it down to one, and it has an enhanced oiling system. If he's reading this he knows who he his.
However, down the road I'd love to eventually build an original 427 side oiler, and with all the outstanding input from all of you in this club, I have soooo much more information with which to make sound decisions.
You guys are great and I hope to soon be attending a club function with my own car. I've a feeling it won't be long!
