That would take a full on custom chassis to do but any thing can be done with time and money.

You will find the Corvette's to be to wide. Due to the a arm lengths the pivots would be inside the frame in order to get the wheels anywhere near the fender wells.

I'm doing this swap right now. I will be posting pics tomarrow. The rear is a piece of cake. The front is a little trickier. Get catalogs from Speedway (race catalog) and from Lefthanders. These are your lifeline for race quality parts at good prices. Also. Don't use the C4 diff and batwing. It's a dana 36 (weak) and tall gears. The C4 dana 44 is way to expensive.
Use the '80 to '82 C3 diff and batwing. It's inexpensive and a dana 44. Combine this with the C4 half shafts and hubs. Now you have a dana 44-C4 suspension without getting bent over.
By the way, C4 rear suspension is stupid simple to narrow.
