Not all 1965-1968 blocks were side oilers. Most were industrial top oilers (non functional side oiler casting without the side oiling) They were common in boats, various trucks, other machines.

I'm not saying the one you are looking at isn't legit. I'm just saying tens of thousands were not side oilers. They come up for sale quite often now that side oilers have gone crazy. Buyer beware
