Default Chassis swap

I have a 61 corvette body and a 2008 rolling chassis
Is there any affordable way to mount the 61 body to the 08 chassis? Can you recommend some to do the swap?

Nope. As you know, the C5/C6 didn't have a "chassis", only a torque tube tying the engine cradle and rear suspension cradle together; the cars were unibodies.

Several outfits (SRIII Motorsports, Corvette Correction, etc.) make aftermarket frames for C1's that accept C5/C6 suspension and brakes.
