OK - I have 2 of his books and it took me awhile to find it again. I have no first-hand knowledge so don't shoot the messenger - I'm only relaying what I read in Colin's book "Shelby" the complete book of Shelby automobiles.
On page 86 there is a table titled: Coil-Spring Cobra Running Production Changes. It says:
CSX3101 - CSX3200 427 engine, 425-horsepower rating, most were two four-barrel, center-oilers with low-rise heads.
CSX3201 - CSX3305 +/- 428 PI engine, 385 horsepower rating, single four-valve carburetion
CSX3306 - CSX3360 +/- 427 enigne, 410-horsepower rating, singel four -valve carburetion, side-oiler, medium-riser head.
So, if Colin knows his stuff the side-oiler first appeared sometime around CSX3306.
I will now go into hiding.
