Conver 9" to IRS?

I'm looking at purchasing an A&C that is a long time finished car. It has a 9" straight axel under it, which I may decide is OK, however at this point I had pretty much decided I wanted an IRS setup.

I'm sure an IRS could be fabbed up using the 9" that is in the car. Anyone ever put an IRS in an A&C?

I suppose some arguments against doing this or for would be appropriate as well. I'm pretty thick skinned, so comments are welcome up to critisizing the size of my nose

there are a few versions of ford 9in rears with irs in the street rod side of the sport--however they all are mostly set up for show and not performance-at least nothing that comes close to getting the max performance out of the ford

You might want to look at a rear out of a 90-96 c4 corvette--aluminum dana 44, suspension allready worked out, brake availability and will be fairly easy to mount in the cobra
