Default what raer end will work

i have a 1986 capri 5.0 and i am putting a 1993 style mustang gt front end on it with the lights and everything i have already changed the hatch tail lights and rear bumper. but i was woundering what ford vehicle can a take a full rearend out of that is at least an 8.8 or 9in has 373 or 410 gears and is a 5 lug setup. will the rearend from a 91 style ranger or explorer work or do i need to get one from a f-150. see i am also builing a 331 stroker motor to put in it so i need a beter rearend. also if anyone knows where i can get a fiberglass tilt nose for the car that would be great if anyone can help please let me know.

I believe you can use a t-bird..but it's about 1.5-2" longer axles so you would have to use rims with the right back space..no big deal there

ok then ill keep the 4 lug but i need nto know what to put the whole rearend out of. basicly i want to put my car on a lift drop the rearend and put a full rearend with 373 or 410 gears right up in its place. so i need to know what ford, like a ranger or explorer, or even a mark VII to pull the rear from. and if you guys know what year you vehicle that would be great to.

you can use a cobra or thunderbird rear end...has disk brakes is 8.8 and has i think 3.55 gears in the rear end...but is just 3/4 in wider on each side
