It has been done.

I want to say I was quoated $300 - $400 per block. I almost bought 2 marine 427 center oilers, but were SO castings, for this purpose. I didn't because the guy raised the price from $2500 for the pair, to $3500 at the last minute.

I spoke with Earl at Dove Engineering, 1-440-236-5139, and he knew of the machine shop, but told me the more blocks you do, the cheaper it is because of macine set-up time.

I don't think the SO system adds much reliability over the center oiler, especially with today's oils, but it could then be truly a side oiler.
