Where to find and 8.8 rear end for my 84 Mustang?

I need to find an 8.8 rear end for my 1984 Mustang. Will any 8.8 out of any Fox body Mustang fit? I think they started putting 8.8's in mustangs starting in 1986. What other Ford makes can i find an 8.8 that will fit? Can anyone help?

Thanks!

They'll work from a mustang all the way up to a 98. Just need to change the axles out of the 7.5. The 95-98 axles are about 1.2in longer and 5 lug. Otherwise there is no difference. Housing is the same. Wont be able to use the factory slapper bars though.
