ford rear swap

well my camaro is starting to look more pleaseing to the eyes as this project gets along, now I have been looking around for a good replacement diff. but anything that will fit right in is very difficult to locate and quite pricey. I found this Ford Mustang rear (8.8 w/ 3.73 gears) on a local forum and at a reasonable price.
my question is, other than changing the axles to accomodate my stock rims what other adaptation would have to be made to complete the swap?? if possible at all.
I live in Hialaeh, Fl and every so often I drive out to Morroso motorsports park in west palm beach were I have seen an 88 camaro with the Mustang 8.8 rear but unfortuneately the owner seemed to not release the tip on what is required.

all you'd need to do is relocate the brackets from the thirdgen rear to the ford, or fab up new ones, and make provision for the torque arm. plus you'd need a width that'd work with the f body. pretty straight forward what needs done.
