If it was converted before 1969 (or whatever date the organisation uses) you
can probably get it in, but otherwise you'd likely be out of luck. Be
prepared to authenticate date and it would be a good move to be running the
proper original engine, i.e. don't have a current spec 350 or something in
place of the 283 that was originally shoehorned in there.
Be prepared for a rigorous tech to make sure that the conversion didn't do
bad things to the frame, etc.
