Might be worth looking into some furrincar independent rear for something this small. As with any really light car, almost anything normally used in hot rods is going to give a terrible problem with unsprung weight. Even if I contribute my magnesium banjo!
An open axle midget setup might be as light as you could reasonably get with a live axle.
E83...Looong ago, the Hot Rod magazine tech column did a short piece on the various obscure Ford England components out there in the world, mostly about those ultra-shorts because they could be used to assemble a dragster rear!
