Clois - From what I can gather his is just a run-of-the-mill common Shelby aluminum block - not a side-oiler rather a center oiler.

Clois is right about the FE's new or old they require the little know-how tricks to do them right. You might be the king of builders but the feedback is just to assume your like most of us - not the king of builders! Why do you list both Oliver rods and Eagle rods? If it were me I'd spend the extra $300-400 bucks and go with the Oliver's.

I'd also rethink the Victor intake. I have an original port matched to Medium riser heads Shelby Sidewinder if interested. I can make this comparison based on switching from the Sidewinder to the Victor. If I hadn't spent so much on the Victor making it perfect for MY motor I'd switch it back in a heartbeat!

Best of luck! All FE's build's need a little.
