The top oiler got its name from the oil gallary above the cam, with oil first feeding around the cam bearing BEFORE reaching the main and rod bearings. The Side oiler design fed oil directly from the oil gallary to all of the main bearings and then rod bearings, which the new Shelby block does.

The Corvette people were completely demoralized."
