Well that's a noble purpose you have there Dave, and I'm sure many will offer advice for tech stuff. The parts you've laid-out so far are not common to nearly all of our replicas so dimensions will probably be scarce.
Beyond the 90" wheelbase, 56" track and 156" LOA - not much else translates to your parts.
My word of caution is that combining an FE with a ZX IRS may be problematic. Even a bone-yard budget FE can be built to 350 to 400HP level. With 295's, will that IRS live with that power? Engine location and trans selection will affect driveshaft length-so I think you mostly have to cut and fit as you go.
Steering geometry and IRS geometry will come from your source vehicles so I don't think we can be much help there.
Good luck and post questions as you go, most guys here will point you right if they can.
