My 2 cents worth,
Unless you find a side oiler block at the end of one of those beautiful Aussie rainbows,I would go with the shelby if for no other reason than the oiling passages are moved up towards the center,and greatly improved at that.
There have been many side oiler blocks melted down with a hole in the left side that would be very repairable had they been shelby blocks.
Another point is the flexibilty of endless boring with replacable sleeves,with any luck it should ast a life time.Tk
