Not Ranked
I'm not sure it makes much difference in the used car market place as long as it's 427 cubic inches or more and from the FE family. A side oiler isn't really necessary to prove adherence to originality - most originals came with FE center oilers anyway. To the right person, the right used car with a side oiler may well sell for a bit of a premium. If having a side oiler was a key issue with a buyer I would want an all original one and not an aftermarket one. If I was after mega-HP bragging rights then I would be looking for an aftermarket block with all the modern heads, intake, carbs/FI, etc. It all comes down to how right the entire car is in a buyer's mind and what it's worth to them.
