If I was going to bid I'd have two questions for clarification purposes.
1. The "side oiler" block has been and still is now drilled to be a "center oiler"?
2. The lifter galley oiling has been "drilled" for "solid lifters" as per the e-bay ad. I think normally the
oil galley would be drilled for "hydraulic lifters", as the side oiler blocks (pre 1966 at least) would ONLY accept solid lifters.
Or is it that this "late model" (after 1966) service block WAS drilled for hydraulic lifters and then the
oil feed hole size was "reduced" to allow for the solid lifters? An important issue if you want to run hydro or solids down the road.
An interesting motor at what appears to be a somewhat high price for a "side oiler" that really "isnt"???? It's complicated at best.
