The term "side oiler" refers to the location of the main oil gallery on the block. It is on the left side of the block.
It was introduced initially as an improved durabilaty block for high performance use.
It was first used on the 427 SOHC engines.
The reality is that it is better but not terrably signifigantly but every little bit helped in racing.

Since they were generally sold only in bare block form virtually any combination of FE heads and intakes could be assembled to it.
