What RWD GM stuff has a similar wheelbase?

Driveshaft would be the least of my concern to start. Rear suspension, trans tunnel, engine mounts etc would be a bigger concern. You can get driveshafts pretty easily.

Left Ventricle posted:Setting aside torsion beam vs. live axle, the basic design of the F-body and A-body rear suspensions are the same. Both have a coil spring and shock setup, both have panhards, both have a track arm—pretty low-tech stuff. The F-body's mounts are flipped compared to the A-body though—that is, the springs are on the "rear" of the axle on the F, but on the "front" on the A. Shocks are similarly flipped (F front, A rear). If it ends up not working, then I will have to engineer something else, but I would rather start with cheap and easy and go from there. That's probably so the axle can travel properly while attached to the driveshaft. You don't have to worry about your center location so much with a torsion beam, but it's pretty important with a live axle IIRC. I'd try and replicate the F-body geometry on the chassis just so you don't get any nasty surprises, and if you can, add a Watts link.

Well that's a turbofucked trans. Impressive.

Toyota MZ (auto) or Honda J (manual) swap it.

That's horrid. Now I want to check my alignment since I've hit some bad potholes lately
