I have in storage a 1969 Firebird, and just recently purchased a 2008 Corvette which was salvaged due to a hit to the side. Everything is in good order other than the passenger door and roof. I would like to take advantage and swap anything possible that might be bolt on.
 
I'm sure anything is possible. I would start by comparing the wheel base. Keep in mind that the Vette's trans is in the rear axle and uses a torque tube, not a drive shaft. You'd probably have to do quite a bit of sheet metal work for it to fit. Also, I think the Vette uses a dry sump oil system to keep the motor lubricated when it is pulling g's. You'd have to accommodate this system as well. If you could make it work, though, it would be pretty a sweet ride.
 
You could swap the whole drivetrain, with some modification.
That would be wicked.
 
everything but you would have to do a lot of metal work and you will have to redo the wiring in the car
