I wonder what problems the factory was having? And yet he says it's possible with late main bearings (a must anyway)and will oil 'differently'...I wonder how it's different? And just different, or worse? The oil holes in the block are clocked about 20-30 degrees is all I see, other than that, I don't see a difference. I'm not clear what different oil hole locations in the block or crank would make, as long as the main gets oil and feeds it through the crank to the rods.
But again, I am far from an expert in such matters.

This is a quote from Dick Daton's Stude 'high performace book':
" It is easy to put togther a Stude six from misc. parts as there is a great deal of interchangability. There is however, a little bit of risk here which we have tried to point out ----
I have checked a 185 crank against a 1964 180 crank and found the oil holes to the rods are drilled at different locations on the two center main bearing journals....What does this mean? If you plan to build a 185 OHV or put a 61-63 crank in a 63-64 full flow OHV sic blocl, you may encounter the same problem the factory had with using full-flow blocks and non-full flow cranks. IF you use a non-full-flow block ('61-62) you should be safe. A 185 crank in a late full-flow OHV block should be possible (using late main bearing sets) even though it will oil differently since the bearings are grooved and the early crank cross-drilled. "
