Cal LeFevers for the whole story. I have heard it but can't remember it verbatim. I would think that Shelby did it that way for durability, oiling etc. The sideoiler as I have read was designed for racing so I assume it was great if it lasted one race. Most of the CC guys and the majority of Cobra guys do not do a race only car. The Shelby aluminum saves the weight, disapates heat better and has the potential for big cubes.
