Best base car to borrow suspension from?

[fantasygoat]

I'm thinking of taking an old 30's hot rod and making it a corner carver by dumping the old frame and putting a new one under there that can handle.

What's the best car platform to steal the suspension from to do this? Some factors to consider:

- ease of transplant
- minimize customizations
- replacement parts cost
- parts availability
- ability to handle torque and horsepower

For example, I see a ton of Miatas at SOLO events, but it's tiny rear end would blow up under any sort of power.

Corvette seems like the way to go but I'm not sure how easy it will be to find a donor car.

Suggestions welcome!
