What a cool find! I love seeing all the undercarriage pictures as well, thanks for sharing.
Sadly often all that is shown is the glory topside shots, but the meat-n-potatoes is where the fun is.Of all the paths you take in life - make sure a few of them are dirt.

The rear spring shackle mounts are bolted to the frame on these cars. They simply predrilled holes in the frame, blew a hole with a torch to get at the top of the bolts.

And yet it worked well.
I have an extra FE that’s definitely buildable, if not runnable as is. Probably not what you want as it is a 352, but I’ll throw it out there anyways.Of all the paths you take in life - make sure a few of them are dirt.

Strictly guessing but I wonder if "B" is the engine size class like in LSR, "X" might be Xperimental like the old Factory Experimental classes, and 3 could be the car # assuming that there wouldn't be many cars in that class. That's at least 1 guess.

It's been a while since I found this car. I figured I'd post an update for those that liked it and may not have seen it on facebook. I'll post some pictures of it and work I did during a week prior to bringing it to a show. It's still a roller but I brought it to Cecil County Dragway 55 years after it debuted there for display and made some contacts there that furthered my research on it.
