No other frame fits without significant modification...and I mean you would be better off building one yourself. See Skips work...mad welding skills but even with them he has yet to finish one.
There is a reason why you don't see them around. Most people can't finish one the way the factory suggested (the easiest) so even fewer can actually do something so extensive.

I have seen a GT on a MG chassis (full frame, front engine, rwd) the body stance is way off (looked like top fuel funnycar), the "hood" had to be cut for access to engine - where the louvers are on the GT-II or the dip in front on the GT. the rear of the trans was about where the middle of your femer would be when sitting - petals were custom cut to fit and there was maybe 8" wall to wall for foot space.
I almost bought it, but just didn't have space for it, and already have to finish one as it is.
Stick with rear engine unless you are a fabricating god
VW, Chevy Corvair, Porsche, Toyota MR2, Pontiac Ferrio, ect. keep in mid you need to configure a liquid cooling system if its not air cooled
Just throwing it out there, I know where a DMC is sitting for sale if you want a stainless steel V8 powered Bradley-II look alike.

Seems I saw one on a jeep CJ chassis once. It looked worse than a dog's dinner and apparently spent most of it's lifetime sitting in a field trying to return the iron within to the earth. Franken-cars can be difficult to put together. Especially ones with space constraints like the Bradleys. Suspension is the key to ride feel and look. Lifted sports cars look red-neck. The only way to make it worse would be a camo paint job.

Almost anything is possible but in order to make that fiberglass body fit say a Chevrolet S10 frame, and fit even the smallest of V8's you would be looking at a rat rod style build. The build could be possible and would look awesome if lowered but you would have to live in a pretty dry climate to drive since a hood wouldn't really be possible, and I would avoid to big of a motor due to our weight distribution with that light of a body.
