My guess is the 84-96 car are all pretty close, my preference is the 91-96 which what I am building. Look at your criteria
*parts availability - yes most anywhere
*does the chosen body/chassis have a winning record? - not yet
*are off the shelf headers available? Yes, not sure of application, made mine
*does the body have a favorable weight bias? best of the GM line
*does the body have a favorable aero shape? absolutely
*does the body have a reasonable wheel base length? 96
*will the completed package weight about 2950 - 3000 race ready? even lighter
*does the engine compartment have good access? more than anything I have ever raced
*does it have a proven front suspension? mostly aluminum, downfall single fiberglass front spring
Larry doing the back is similar to a front wheel drive conversion.
Mine is currently in paint prison, been there for 3 months.
Mine will see some GT but mostly SS/I J K stick
I enjoyed your S10 build!! I have pictures of my build, just haven't taken the time to post anything yet. Maybe find time this winter
