Hmmm, longer WHEEL BASE or stretched front or rear of the suspension to accomodate a longer body? I'm not assuming the Flip Top chassis was lengthened or shortened afterward. Just wondering how the chassis in question might have been 'lengthened' in the first place.

Footnote:
Shelby never did want to deal with the 255 cid project, it was pushed on him by Ford, like the GT40 was as well. His thinking was the engine was to unreliable and complex to deal with.
