As long as its a real side oiler there should be no problem I can think of (had a few that at one point had been chenged to use in boats)
How did you determine its a side oiler" I ask since Ford oftne mixed and matched exterior casting molds which produced some odd combinations (have a 428 CJ with a side oiler rear casting - seen at least 6 of these)
Just make sure it isn't one of the 427's that was built for boat applications
