The Jag and most Chevy rears are using a Dana 44 rear gear and pinion setup. Some of the mid 80's vette rears are not using a Dana 44. While I dont' know the years specifically, I'd be sure to avoid those rears.
What is the intended purpose, autocross, 1/4 mile drags? In general, I'd avoid an IRS if you're doing high RPM neutral drops with any kind of traction. If you're looking to do corner carving, then an IRS should be good. I don't remember which years of Vette rears use a modified four link attached to the hub, but if you have room to work, that is what I would look at first. However, Vette rears are more expensive than Jag rears.
Good luck and welcome aboard!

Thanks alot will be a corner carver but I do wanna be able to do some a occasional burn outs so I will be adding stronger internals etc. still checking local salvage yards and If im correct I think the 80s vette the five speed manual should Cary the dana 44 and should be more of a easier mock up then jag but will let you guys know what I grab im so excited to start

If you're not using the halfshaft as a suspension memeber, the late (2000- 2007 or so) Explorer 8.8 is a good unit. LSD's are cheap and plentiful, and the aluminum case saves a few pounds.
