Default 8.8" in a 65 Stang

I'm looking to update my 65 coupe with a fresh rear end. It's a 289 with the stock 8" non-locking rear. I'm looking into putting an 8.8 under her, but the more I read, the harder it looks.

It seems that most of the 80's car 8.8's have 4 bolt axles, and used 4-link, not leaf springs. I know, no matter what, I'll have to get spring pads welded on. But I was hoping to get a locking 8.8 with 5-bolt axles already.

What about a Ranger? Will the housing fit a Mustang? Or is a truck axle offset?
