It might be possible to install the original style pedal box in the FFR footbox, but it won't be easy. Considering the pedal box is usually mounted with the bottom pretty close to flush with the bottom of the frame rails and the masters are mounted on the front of the box, you can see it would be a handful of fabrication.
There are a couple options you can consider. You could mount original style footboxes and then you could easily mount the pedal boxes. However, I'm not sure how much work it would be to fit the original style foot boxes in the FFR Chassis.

The other option would be to use the floor mount pedals that bolt directly to the floor of the foot box. I'll try to find a link or picture of one of these. Kirkham uses them on their drop box foot box option and they work really well.

Wilwood’s new floor mount pedal assembly has a brake / clutch / throttle triple pedal design. There are three individual fabricated steel pedals with non-slip pedal pads to control brake, clutch and throttle. Pedal assembly part number 340-12411 is for front engine cars and includes a throttle bell crank and linkage assembly. This unit features an aluminum frame with strong lightweight fabricated steel pedal arms. The frame and the pedal arms have a black e-coat finish for protection and an attractive appearance. Also included with the pedal assembly are mounting studs, clevises, and balance bar assembly that is designed to provide smooth and accurate settings of the brake pedal bias. The balance bar can be set and locked down with the jam nut, or attached to a remote cable for quick on-track adjustments. The pedal assembly provides a 5.25 to 1 nominal ratio.
