As mentioned, about $1000.
Here's a few differences between the Shelby and the Pond...
If you want the Shelby name, big cubes and max power go for the Shelby block.
If you want an original looking block with actual correct casting numbers on it and a true "side oiler" go with the Pond block. The Shelby block is not a side oiler.
The Shelby block will readily handle a 4 3/8" stroke where the Pond block is limited to 4 1/4". (496" vs 527")
The $1K saved, the "correct" appearance, it being a true side oiler and my modest HP goals (600+) steered me towards the Pond Block.
