Probably not, as it was first fitted with a full race alloy 390 CID with four Webers. It then got the 427 that Miles ran at Nassau in December 1964. Also on the last page of Michael Shoen's second edition book there is a list of "Cars Built To Racing Specification:" that shows "2196 Team car, fitted 427 engine, wrecked at Sebring '64, rebuilt as experimental car and used to test alloy 390 CID engine." I would guess that there are several engines that could be considered "original".
