Anybody Swap in an 8.8 IRS?

I have been looking into swapping an 8.8 IRS from a T Bird or LSC v8 car. I may be nuts but so far width looks right, coil springs look right and 4 point mounting. has anyone done this? I have seen some Vette Dana 44 swaps on here but couldn't find a 8.8 IRS.

Probably going to take the same amount of fabrication work as the C4 IRS swap.
