Default 289 Slabside Question...

As I ponder the Kirkham slabside, a few of us were 'bench racing' and came up with a few disagreements that I hope CC can clear up. On the ORIGINAL Cobras, how wide apart were the 3" mail rails, center to center? How many body parts interchange? In Legates 'Cobra" he says the hood, doors and boot (trunk) are all the same..I disagree, but am not sure. Finally, how much wider is the 427 body than the 289, and where is the difference. I seem to recall that the prototype bb's that Miles did had a 2" strip added into each fender....
