Hidden costs.

I don't know about the CURRENT crop of Shelby blocks but the early ones required a LOT of machine shop work, as I suspect other 'modern' blocks do as well. These 'hidden costs' drive the up the 'real' cost of the block considerably. If Davids block comes out 'good to go' with only light machining required here and there it would be a bargain compared to others.
