Default rear end swap

i havnt quite figured this one out yet. 8.8 rears. which ones from what vehicles are a direct bolt in for the 4 eyes? I just finally got the engine in the car and paint and weatherstripping will be done in the next 6 weeks but i have to toss the 7.5 thats in it. ive heard rangers and t-birds will bolt right up but what years will work?
