Maybe the example doesn't work for you, but it works for me.
You simply don't understand my example, but I'll keep it simple this time. And the construction of the original car and where the parts were sourced from is irrelevant.
Let's say I own a Toyota Land Cruiser (or pick any OEM car you want). I will buy OEM parts for an original car, wherever the part was sourced or originated from. So, in my new example, an OEM part for a Land Cruiser is made by Toyota or one of its suppliers. If I had a REPLICA of a Land Cruiser, then I think buying an OEM Toyota part for my REPLICA Land Cruiser is simply ridiculous and a complete waste of time, for me. Maybe not for you, but for me yes. That's my opinion, so like it or not. I honestly don't care.
Back to the OP, installing a date coded OEM side oiler in a Cobra replica is a waste of time and effort IMO. Little, if anything else on that Shelby Cobra replica, is OEM. Pretty much nothing came from the 1960's, but for the block. I would have sourced a Pond or Shelby block instead.
