An IRS would be pretty cool, but a solid rear end would be a lot easier to engineer. The Chevy S10 2x4 has a similar track, disc brakes and limited slip. Weld in upper and lower arm mounts, a Panhard rod, and you're done.
Jensenman does have a valid point in that a lot of IRS are 'compromise' suspensions. If I remember correctly, even the guys at Saleen retrofitted a solid axle into the first generation of Mustang that had IRS (SN95?). If Saleen couldn't make an IRS work, I know I surely couldn't do it!
Of course all this depends if you are building a 'show' car or a 'go' car. IRS will win hands down for a show car, however, if you are building a competition car stick with a solid rear end.
