It ended up with a cam blank.

The cam blank would have been an execution detail, not part of the conception brainstorming.

When I speak of the sideoiler function in the context of this thread, I'm hypothesizing why Ford would have converted from centeroiling if there was no oiling problem in the FE.

The reasons are apparently that the Cammer would stress the block more than any other engine beforehand, so incremental improvements in the oiling system might be of benefit, and also because the Cammer would have no use for routing volumes of oil to hydraulic lifters and around the cam. Converting to a more conventional "priority mains" side-oiler design would have been a rather obvious choice, given these basic parameters.

I expect that much of the napkin sketching of the sideoiler circuitry would have been completed by the time an oiling system peripheral like the stub shaft appeared as the most cost effective distributor-drive option. I expect many other ideas had been fielded for operating the oil pump and distributor early in the process.

JMO,
Shoe.
