Could the frame just be 24" all the way back? or 30" all the way up?

I wan't to use a '60's 223, pref. with a 4 speed.

Thank you,

You could, but it looks so much better tapered. Otherwise you have to make it wider in the front so it meets the firewall correctly, and that just doesn't look right IMO. The vast majority are tapered.

Here, I borrowed this picture from Anchorboy46's gallery. It shows a very typical T bucket frame, especially the taper. The taper also gives you more room in the cockpit for transmission, etc.
