I really would have to see the block in question since I have never tore a 273 all the way down. My R block does not oil the lifters but I have seen that Mopar sells a jig to drill into the oil galleys to allow them to. The driver side galley is fed oil from the front main via the passenger side galley. Paul Wong or Ron Ortiz probably have much more experience with a 273 block.
Are you wanting to use a hydraulic cam? Is this for a stocker build or something else?
