I would say probably no, HOWEVER I would call the guys on that website to confirm you can. (Edited for future questions.)

I think that what you are essentially asking is if the Falcon bonnet will fit a Fairlane? If so, then no the Falcon bonnet will not a Fairlane.

If you are asking if the bulge itself will bolt on easily then sorry, the answer to this is also no. I am sure that you could do it, but it would not be as easy as bolting it straight on.
