I think that is a Fox body platform and if so the IRS just bolts into attachment points used for the regular live axle version of the chassis. Since Corvettes are able to swap out their IRS for a live axle in stock it seems reasonable that you could do the same. It is very easy to get a fox chassis 8.8 rear housing, you will trip over several at almost any junkyard, and just bolt it in. The live axle is quite a bit lighter than the IRS and there are suspension parts galore for that configuration too.
