So I found a rear...

I was snooping around at one of my local junkyards and ran into a 1994 ish mustang with a 5.0. Being in its rightful home i decided not to even consider saving it. The rear however is an 8.8 with disc brakes. For $300 bucks is this a good deal? Is it the right swap for my 1982 gsl? I want to put a cosmo in her so i need the diff. I don't know how much longer the car will be there so, a little feedback asap would be appreciated Thanks guys

Is there less fabrication? Is it as strong as the ford?

Either of those options (miata and GTU) are IRS and would require major fabrication.
