NO on that flange...

Here's one, but you can search and find it for less, read that it indicates it is for using and 8.8 rear end in a v6 stang (has p/n I think):

The last post for the 03-04 cobra flange posted by laterider is the flange you will need to swap. It isn't a simple unbolt the old and bolt in the new though. You have to have the correct pre-load on it and there is a proper procedure. Too tight and you will seize up the rear end while driving in a short time.

Because of that I took mine to a shop and had the professional do the flange swap for me. I didn't feel comfortable doing it myself.
