Possible 3800 SC fc???!?!?

Some quick info, my 98 bonnieville subframe rotted out and just dropped out on me today. Did extensive research on fixing and or replacing... And number 1 they stopped making them, so I'd have to drop the subframe and fix the existing steel or fab a new or partially new. The car has 100,000 on it so a lot of life left in it, clean interior, no rust( except the whole subframe). So I've been weighing options and such....scrap the car? Fix it? Who knows? But the I realised 2 things... I have A 91 fc vert with no engine and trans AND a supercharger for said 3800. Now I've been doing a little bit of research and there are a select few transmissions I could use such as the t5 out of the pre 93 camaros I believe?. I'm totally against swapping out the rotary, in my 88 fc currently is a N/a 13b, and will always be a rotary maybe someday even a26b😁, this car will be my dedicated track car in time but the vert more so of a weekend warrior summer like toy. And if I choose to scrap my bonnie I figure with the motor being a great young motor why waste it. They are sufficiently quick, so I thought why not throw it in the fc roller. Gets some use, do some experimenting, maybe TT? Idk to be completely honest, but really why I'm really here is to get some outside input to really determine if it would be worth it. How much could I really do with the 3800. The immense amount of fabrication I'm figuring it will require. Thoughts? Sorry for the super long post but I feel it helps wrap your brain around how I'm looking at this. Thank guys!
