Google it and look around on ffrax.com. Most of the guys here are all about street/strip performance, and have no interest in an IRS conversion, but you can probably find som info there.

Is it a C4, C5, or C6 IRS? C4 shouldn't be that hard to fab in there, but C5 or C6 is a big project since the tranny is mounted to the differential.

It would probably be much easier to pickup a Moser 12 Bolt or 9" rear end for it.

I've seen a C4 IRS put in a 4th gen before, so it is possible, but definitely not a bolt in.

Good luck, if you decide to do it, be sure to let us know how it goes.
