I wouldn't bother to drill it and heres why.

The side oiler (holy grail of 427's) was built for endurance. HIGH sustained rpm such as one might encounter at LeMans or NASCAR. Fact is if your not running 6000 rpm for a few hours at a time you really don't need the side oiler feature.

Do I WANT a side oiler? Dam straight! I want a REAL one, because, well,,,,, because it IS real. Not a "drilled out" sort kinda modified center oiler turned into a side oiler thing. It would be easier just to call it a 427 and let it go at that.
