You can not walk into any Ford dealership and buy a Mustang with a 5.4L SC engine and drive away with car and license plates and insurance. And Stock Eliminator has ALWAYS been to showcase what is possible with factory produced, legal for street use vehicles. I can't think of ANY exceptions over the last 50+ years. Shelby offers a 5.4L SC engine so that is perfectly acceptable.

Jeff you have a misperception about the current Ford Shelby GT500 Mustang. This is a fully Ford produced car (8000+/yr are built) built on the standard Mustang assembly line this vehicle comes as you know with a 5.4L S/C engine built on a Ford assembly line. The Shelby name on this car is only badging.
