Anything is possible. Sounds like a shit ton of work. You will likely need to buy another chassis to swap parts over from such as the chassis harness, etc.

megasquirt, is the way to go, if you are starting from scratch, unless you have a donor car and strip out the harness

I dont think megasquirt is but the tip of the iceberg.

I saw the words "street going again" so I assume that a harness like in my racecar will not cut it (plus, let me tell you from experience that making a minimal race harness from scratch can get very unwieldy let alone a harness for a car with just the minimum to pass safety inspection for the street.
