I am doing an engine swap from a 3.8L V6 to the 4.6L V8 cobra engine. I am also swapping to a T-45 trans. I know that I have to switch the rear end. Will a Ford 8.8 3:73 Ring and Pinion Set work. I found some on e-bay here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...item=1810919235

Is this all I need? What else do I need to know?

Also, any suggestions are more then welcome, I am fairly new at this and only moderatly understand what I am doing.
