We got a fox 8.8" with the car, but it doesn't have any drums/shoes/etc, just backing plates. Can we use the drums and misc. brake parts off of the stock 7.5?

As of right now, I'm under the impression that the driveshaft will bolt up and the 4cyl brake parts will fit the 8.8??

I see 9" and 10" drums on rockauto and that made me go WTF???

Any other gotchas to the 8.8" swap?
 
Yes, the axles and brake components are the same between the fox 5.0 and 2.3. They are 9" drums

The 10" drums are ranger 8.8 drums. They can be put on a mustang if you have all the parts...although I have yet to hear of anyone doing this.
