Default 240Z fit in here?

OK guys...before you get all worked up it will have an American V8...probably an LS engine.
Picking up a 73 240Z Saturday with a very clean shell to be the basis for the project. Just bouncing ideas around now but the plan will go something like this.
Strip the car and part out all the non essential Z components which will likely be everything but the shell and the windshield for the most part.
Nothing fancy and pretty much all business and the plan is for scrounging used and donor components along with used race components...minimal new stuff...BUDGET.
>GT1/Trans Am style square tube chassis...building myself.
>Modified aftermarket fiberglass IMSA wide body kit...add some DTM influence with air management.
>With the GT1 chassis it will be easy to do a flat bottom car with some sort of rear diffuser.
>Engine will come back several inches so I can get optimal balance.
>Might go with a dry sump if I can come across a screaming deal.
>Lexan glass with exception of windshield.
>I think this thing should end up weighing around 2100 lbs or so.
>Bare bones but gonna have to be a panzy and have air conditioning as it gets a little warm in GA.
That is kinda the big picture and a long time to get there!

and a nice simple name....240RR
