Yes.

Black powder weapons are not considered "firearms" by U.S. Code, Title 18, they are "antique firearms" legal for all to possess, even felons.

From U.S. Code, Title 18 definitions:

"(16) The term "antique firearm" means- (A) any firearm (including any firearm with a matchlock, flintlock, percussion cap, or similar type of ignition system) manufactured in or before 1898; or

(B) any replica of any firearm described in subparagraph (A) if such replica- (i) is not designed or redesigned for using rimfire or conventional centerfire fixed ammunition, or

(ii) uses rimfire or conventional centerfire fixed ammunition which is no longer manufactured in the United States and which is not readily available in the ordinary channels of commercial trade; or

(C) any muzzle loading rifle, muzzle loading shotgun, or muzzle loading pistol, which is designed to use black powder, or a black powder substitute, and which cannot use fixed ammunition. For purposes of this subparagraph, the term "antique firearm" shall not include any weapon which incorporates a firearm frame or receiver, any firearm which is converted into a muzzle loading weapon, or any muzzle loading weapon which can be readily converted to fire fixed ammunition by replacing the barrel, bolt, breechblock, or any combination thereof."

Is it legal for a convicted felon to posses a black powder pistole in Fl with a smokeless drop in conversion cylinder?

Upon installing the cylinder you have, according to the law (or at least the ATF), manufactured a firearm. So the simple answer is "No". It is not legal for a felon to own a firearm (gun) and once you install a conversion cylinder that pistol is no longer a "non-gun" black powder pistol.
