I was pointing out this idiocy IMO, of stamping an aftermarket block the same CSX # as the car. Talk about superfluous.

SPF Slabside - "These slab side Cobras built by Superformance under license from Shelby are nut and bolt exact replicas of the early 60’s Cobras that made Shelby famous, with the only difference being the fiberglas body."

"My engine is an original early 60’s “date coded” 289 motor rebuilt to new specs with all the best modern hi-performance components (Edelbrock aluminum heads, roller rockers, etc.) by Southern Automotive to put out 360 HP. If you look at the engine photos, you will see it has lots of billet goodies and is accurate in it’s detail to the original Cobras."

Nut and bolt exact replica? Really? A date coded 289 with lots of billet goodies? Really? The only difference being the fiberglass body? Really? Accurate? Really?

Oy vey.
