The primary measurement for normal body/subframe fitment is from the outermost of the two closely-spaced holes at the ends of the front bulkhead (near the front outer corners of the actual floorpans) to the forwardmost of the two body mounting holes on the rear shock tower. It should be 58.5 inches (1486mm) between these holes.
Since you are building your own subframe, it'd be possible to fudge things a bit to make it work if that isn't correct. However, even if you split the wheelbase difference front and rear, I'm not sure you'd be happy with the look of the uneven wheel well to tire gaps if the wheelbase is too far off. It's close enough to work physically, but I'd definitely drop the body over the chassis to get a look at the aesthetics then decide if you want to do the extra work on the chassis.
Also, make sure you look and measure things with the suspension at normal ride height. The wheels move backwards and up in an arc as the suspension compresses, so if you just have the bare chassis sitting there with no weight on it, the wheels will be further forward than when the car is assembled.
