My first street rod project involves putting a '78 Malibu engine in a '33 Chevrolet Master sedan. In trying to salvage as much as I can from the Malibu, and I was looking at the rear suspension. Is there anyway to adapt the Malibu rear suspension, rear end, axle, etc. (wheel to wheel) to the Chevy frame? I can see that it would require constructing some substantial framing o create the new attachment points.

Is this practical? I keep reading about using Mustang 2 suspension components. Is that the only way to go?

Any experience or advice that could be brought to bear would be appreciated.
