Are these parts interchangeable? Can an LT1 fit a ZL1 driveshaft?

Recommended rim? Will stock LE's suffice? What about the brakes?

You did say it was a dream build.

If you are looking to really wow the crowd at the 1/4 mile then:
turbo 400 conversion, trans brake, full manual valve body, I still upgrade the ZL1 axles to performance axles, large slicks, need a Holley Proram sticking out of the hood
Some of this I understood, thanks for the input lol.
