272 oiling issues

While I agree that the 55's came with a 239, who knows what might have been changed over the years. Not unusual to find a later engine in the car or truck.
 
Thanks to all for the excellent help and advice. I rotated the engine 90 degrees, and I have oil everywhere. I was astonished. Thanks again.
 
Pull the rosker shaft and tap the oil passage for 1/8 npt (pipe thread) insert a zerk fitting using a high pressure grease gun pump in the lightest grease you can. You may be able to push the blockage back down and get clean oil moving again. Other wise its pull the head or use an external oil line.
