Option 1. Buy a used 8.8 out of a 86-93 GT its the best option and it bolts right in.

Option 2 if you use a SN95 rearend it is wider by (I beleive 1.5") it can cause offset issue with some wheels. They have disc brakes and this means you have to swap mastercylinders and booster (to do it right) and fab up the E-brake. You will also have five lug on the back then, which means you have to upgrade to five lug in the front and get all new rims.

For what you want option 1 would be the easiest and the most cost effective.

Good luck!
