No, you can't rewrite history. According to the history written down while curled at the feet of Ford engineers:
The sideoiler block was already designed, to help the High-Riser last better in long races, and was incorporated into the SOHC design. Both changes (not necessarily advances) were released about the same time, but the SOHC was not the impetus for the side-oiler.
