RE: '63 427 to side oiler...

There's some very good points on the question of your oilling issure, but everything is based on what your going use the engine for. But there is a way to do it with not to much trouble. The way I did it was to drill a .155 hole throught the 3/8 crossbolts, then welding a steel 1/8" male pipe fitting to the head of bolt. Then drill the same size hole half way throught the main cap being very careful to get absolute center throught 3/8 bolt hole. Now you have to drill the same size hole throught the bearing side verticly down to meet the cross hole. Drill the bearing for the new fed hole and chamfer your bearing and almost there. If you have a oil cooler type filter setup, tee-off with 1/4 S.S. tubing for your new oil manifolds, make your connections use a high volume oil pump and 7 quart pan and go racing. Ray Tirri P.S. you leave old oil system as is or impove on that as well. This engine was running to 8000 rpm up-intill I took it apart three
years ago, and the bearing were cheery. Originally built in 1972
