B1MC in this case...Paired rockers require pushrod oiling and if your block did not come that way options are limited..

Ok, so this is just for blocks that have not had the lifter galleys drilled?

I messed up when I ordered my Keith Black block and didn't get it drilled for pushrod oiling because at the time I was planning on running my 440-1 Indy heads. Tom Hemphill drilled it for me so now I can oil either way. My B1's require pushrod oiling.

Well here is our tale. We actually have one that was ordered WITH pushrod oiling from KB and a 55MM roller cam bearing deal. What we got was babbit and 54 and pushrod oil. Calls were made and KB said they could fix it. Well we got back was a 55MM roller cam option and LOST out pushrod oiling. Not exactly what was ordered or paid for so we too will likely end up fixing ours later. Caused us to go with common shaft rockers and we will see how it holds up. Whole engine is kind of a one off deal anyway at this point. We plan to run it for a bit to see how things look after some laps. When we tear it down we will address the pushrod oil issues..

I didn't order my Indy block with PR oiling. After giving it more thought, I wasn't crazy about splash oiling a roller cam so I decided to go the internal manifold route. My thought is that the lifters will live longer, especially on the street with pressure fed bores and roller axles. I could be completely wrong, but I sleep better this way. FWIW...my KB block doesn't have lifter oil galleys and mine is a solid roller. No problems w/ lifters in 10 years.

Would agree plenty of oil there w/o pushrod oiling at the lifters. Up top is where you will have the issues. When I ran a Hemi in the Cuda we had spray bars for the springs rockers and tips. IMO pushrod oiling is just a better way to do it and on some cases a necessity as in paired rockers...

No question...I'd have the block drilled. I wouldn't want all that mess in the lifter valley.
