I personally don't consider these improvements to be meaningless to 99% of us.
Priority main oiling.
Thicker decks.
Billet steel main caps.
The Shelby head stud configuration delivers maximum gasket seal/retention and minimum cylinder bore distortion when the head is torqued to the block.
Extended skirts.
Thick
oil pan rails.
Up to 527ci and saves 75 lbs.
There are reasons why the original blocks need sleeves and welding on pan rails.
