Even the SOHC blocks were standard 'side oiler' blocks. NASCAR outlawed the High Riser heads for the same reason they did the SOHC, to much for the competition! Rare High Riser heads went away in '64 and were replaced with the more common medium risers.

However the side oiler NASCAR CRANKSHAFT was heavily modified and required special rod bearings (and rods I think). The NASCAR side oiler rod bearings are really hard to find, by the way.
