Wow, that is neat. Never seen the Corvette stuff under a Mopar, just doesn't seem right for some reason!! 
Can I see pictures of what your are doing for the frame?
Is it going to be a perimeter frame like the Corvettes? Is it going to be integrated in the old Challenger unibody?
Is it going to run transverse leafs or are you going with coil overs?
I thought the torque tube/rear mounted transmission would have improved weight distribution for handling purposes, did it just not fit?
Very different, for sure!! 
Here is the new frame to date...... 1.5" .120 wall DOM
What's left of the Challenger's shell will be integrated into the new chassis/roll cage.
The 6 speed tranny & rear differential will still be mounted in the rear, but not attached by the factory corvette torque tube. The pictures of the bearing/bellhousing/adapter show the beginnings of what will replace the torque tube.
Regarding the corvette suspension.... We looked into using viper instead but the cost & design limitations stopped that. Corvette C5 suspension is pretty popular. Johnson's G-Force Cuda has vette suspension and there are a handful of other builders building mustangs, etc. as well.
The only suspension pieces that we are going to use in addition to the tremec 6 speed and Independant differential are the front & rear spindles and control arms. The arms are set up in the jigs to factory specs. The chassis will then be built from there. The vette brakes are gone as well in favor of 15" rotors and 6 piston BAER calipers front & rear.
thanks for watching
