My son just did this last week for a 91 Mustang Gt Drag car. After much research and to comply with sanctioning bodies he purchase housing ends from Strange engineering. Then he found someone that had done 8.8's and had the necessary parts to line it up. He was charged about $250 for cutting and welding the existing brackets and checking/straightening the tubes. He will use Ford 9" style Timken "Set 20" tapered roller bearings. Next up is ordering the axles. MUCH MUCH better than the OEM 8.8 setup even when used with "C" clip eliminators.
