Pond block weighs less, costs less, has period correct casting # for those states that require it for ease of registration. Downside is that it can only go up to 496 c.i. vs. 500+ for the Shelby, along with the Shelby name. I think the machining required of either one is about the same. The oiling system is different as well, but for street use, I don't think it really makes much difference.
