Possible, sure. But for the time and effort you will spend trying to make it work, you could fix just about any problem that the '81 frame has. If you just want the engine and transmission, they will drop into the '81 with very little effort. You'll have some electrical and fuel plumbing to do, and will have to get new AC lines made if you want to use the '98 compressor and accessory drive, but that is all trivial compared to putting the '81 body on the '98 frame.
