You are attempting to compare parts purchased in order to make a race car out of a production car to a pile of parts sold by an OEM that doesn't even start and run, much less move under its own power or pass any sort of DMV requirement. Keep stretching and reaching, you'll never get there, but the exercise might help.
Wrong, the Cobra Jets were available from Ford Dealers as complete running cars. They did not come with a vin tag but show me in the rule book where it says that all cars racing stock eliminator must pass a DMV requirement. The Drag pak cars may be a different story but the Cobra Jets could be driven but were not street legal, which is not a requirement for stock eliminator. Ford produced 50 plus cars, were available thru Ford dealers , were drivable at the time of purchase. It is hard to beleive that nobody complained about the rule for the oem's to produce 50 special units, even though it has been in the rule book since at least 1998.
