I'm pretty sure the side oiler was a 427.  There were several different
versions of the 427 including the SOHC, Side Oiler, High riser, Medium riser
and cross bolt mains.  I've been told that there were different versions of
the 428 also but the only one I  had any experience with was the 428 SCJ
that was in my '69 Mach1.  I know for certain that the heads were different
from the "normal 428" in that the exhaust port flanges had 4 bolts for each
cylinder as opposed to two the 428 Passenger engine.
