RE: your NOT misinformed, just misle By David Thayer - 02/05/2002 10:55:13 AM; IP 158.52.254.238 After Ford converted their 427 to the side oiler, all 427's side and center oilers shared the same casting. The 63 &64 center oiler were the old "pre side oiler casting". The later center oiler has all of the provisions for side oiling capabilties (the boss you mention) but it is NOT machined as such. I have not heard of anybody doing this mod as it would require some high $ toolng to accomplish. And, just as Jerry said, this does NOT improve performance. On the NASCAR tracks, the high banks forced the oil in the center oiler 427's oiling system to push to the right side of the engine satrving the left side and causing engine failure. The side oiling system oiled from the left and helped cure this problem. Unless you think NASCAR might start running these bohemouths again, there is no reason to even consider wasting the money to do this. The center oiler will work just fine and externnally looks the same as the side oiler with the screw in freeze plugs. David
