You know, there were only 5 original FIA cars. I know of no BB effort with those cars.

Street car CSX2196 was the FE mule for testing BB fit....ran at Sebring once in it's original body...became the Fliptop as the program continued.

Some early references refer to CSX2166 as the first 427 proto (pre-CSX2196), but that has been disproved, I believe.

FE in an FIA-style replica is just the wrong thing to do.
...but, as many say...it's your car.
