as FETorino says below, go to
http://www.fordfe.com/ -- this has been
covered before several times. and since companies like Scat are making
reasonably priced stroker kits (4.25"), no reason to not go big.
it is my understanding that those engines might be "top-oilers" (aka
"center-oilers"), even if cast as side oilers. marine and industrial
engines were a mixed bag. although side oilers are the most popular,
conventional wisdom says for street use the center oilers are just as
good for street use.
[edit]
I had a section guessing at the value, but then I went and searched
at fordfe.com. apparently it all hinges on the cooling system used:
