Your best bet is ismply buying/building a custom chasis.
I'm assuming you want to put a c5 frame for 2 reasons:
Less weight, and more stiffness. If that's the case I think you hsould buy that custom frame

Actually it was 3 reasons, less wieght more stiffness, and better suspension geometry. Im a college student and unfortunately cant put up 5k for a custom frame 
Looks like Im going to have to just full weld, gusset and rework the suspension

New frame...
It has to be a custom job. My neighbor is doing the same thing using a '69 Mustang steel shell and Z06 front-to-rear drivetrain. Basically a tubeframe car with a body draped over it. Very cool, but a ton of work. I'll take a picture tonight.
