In looking into aftermarket Aluminum blocks, I was surprised to learn that the Shelby block is in fact NOT a true Sideoiler block, but rather more of a center oiler configuration. While I realize that for street use the Sideoiler configuration is not necessary, the fact that it's going in a Cobra would make the Sideoiler configuration that much more desireable. I'm told that the Dove, Genesis and Pond blocks are true Sideoilers and in fact are almost identical in appearance to the original blocks, for those of us seeking a higher level of authenticity. Can anyone with more knowledge on this than I comment? Sal?
