The originals were fiberglass boxes with floor mounted pedals. Different arrangement for the steering shaft to penetrate the front of the box also. It can be done, but it would take quite a bit of work to fit the fiberglass boxes to the FF5 frame as it is. Also, the floor mount pedal box can also be done but would require a complete rework of the FF5 driver's side outriggers and metal and mounting points for it to fit.

Once you have the insulation and carpet in, you won't really notice the difference, IMHO.
