Rear end swap

Hopefully in the weeks to come I can get started swapping out my 7.5 for my 8.8.What are some things I need to keep in mind about doing this swap? The car was originally a 4 cyl so I know I'll have to change the master cylinder and brake lines ,but what else do I need to bear in mind?

I'll get new control arms. Do you know if the quad shocks will bolt up ok since my mustang was a 4 banger? I heard they will bolt up fine.
