I agree about the great looks of the Hurricanes, thats why I bought one
But I think the point of the raffle car is to raise money for a worthy cause, in this case cystic fibrosis. The 351W is a more economical power plant, so the car costs less to build, hence there are more proceeds from ticket sales to donate to the charity. Building an all-out original FE vs. the smallblock would take $15k+ out of the charity fund.
But then the argument could be made that a more original replica would generate more ticket sales ... so what do I know ...
