So, let me get this straight. I have a T400 X-member laying out in my shop. I own an X11 car. All I have to do is take the X-member and bolt it in my car an wala, a COPO? Point is, X-member, Rear end and anything else has BOLTS, meaning it can be removed and switched. Back in the day, most of the parts cited exclusive for a BB car were readily found at swap meets, salvage yards and over the counter from Chevrolet. It is stated the car was a long time race car. You don't think 4 core radiators, x-members,T400's and such were a dime a dozen back when this car was being modified? Before this became a rich man's hobby, those cars where cheap, teenager abuse machines. I know, I still have mine.
