Is this possible? I have a chance to trade my Fox 8.8 (drum brakes) for an '88 Turbo Coupe axle (disc brakes). I can't find much information on the swap which leads me to believe that there's too much work involved to do it.

Any insight is much appreciated.

They are 8.8 and it bolts up you just need to drill some lower holes for the quad shock mounting.
