You will need a 8.8

I did this conversion to my car. Need to axels from a ranger and front rotors from an 86-91 Mark VII. Though Im just going to re-drill my stock front rotors because too many problems with the Mark VII rotors on my wheels (03 Bullit wheels) Longer studs are just too hard to find.

I'd also go with the Mark VII calipers too, something like 71 or 73mm up from 55mm or something like that stock.
