There is a lot of subjective opinion to be considered.
I guess I would offer that if you are building a Cobra with resale down the road in mind, go with the Pond.
Building in as much quality as one can reasonably afford is
usually the right move. Seems that being able to say your car has a newly cast Side Oiler, not a sleeved center oiler, would have an influence over a buyer with decent knowledge about what he or she is purchasing.
If you do pursue the Pond block I know someone just down the road from you who had five of them on a rack in his shop. At least he did in July of this year.
