I think this would be pretty straight forward, but I have not done it. 

If you wanted the car to then be IRS you would have to also use the 
IRS rear subframe and get the IRS rear mounts that were welded to the 
old IRS body and get them welded to the swingaxle body.

If you wanted the car to end up as a swing axle you would need to use 
the older rear subframe.

Either fast or square, I don't think it would matter, but you want to 
stick with the same transmission, AT or MT.
