A G-body is the mid 80's GM mid size RWD platform.  Monte Carlo, 
Cutlass, etc.  Available with a variety of engines.

How, in theory, is pretty simple:

  1 - Remove all the body components from the donor G-body.
  2 - Cut out the bottom of the Corvair body.  This is one occasion when 
starting with a rusty car is a bonus :-)
  3 - Lift the Corvair body onto the G chassis.
  4 - Trim to fit and bolt the two together.
  5 - Finish to taste.

Why or why not is up to the individual.  I'd suggest that if you have 
to ask the question you might not understand the answer.
