Hi, the side oiler was designed for the track (stock car) it oiled from an external tank so that when they went for all those left hand turns it would have oil in all the right places and the oil wouldn't be slammed up against the right side of the pan. it was a very strong block meant to take a pounding and still run. High horsepower, lots of oil. it's a good one for your fairlane Brad. there are a couple of them (short blocks for sale over on vintage mustangs . com John
