With alot of work try a 280Z Datsun it will handle all the V-8 power you can trow at it.

Rx7, Jag rear setups may work. I have seen Rx7 IRS in mini trucks before and the Jag rears are in streetrods. Corvair might even work if you want something really oddball or '61-'63 Pontiac Tempest have a IRS transaxle setup.

As far as the front foes, just have someone make some tubular controlarms.
