You would have to cut down the standard ally crossmember to clear the chassis mounted engine mounts, but the shell pick-up points are essentially the same.....

The standard 7.5" rear beam would fit...

The grp 'a' front suspension is totally different from standard, the casing mount differently at the hub.....

To estimate the cost of buying all second hand is difficult their are so many variables....
