what year 8.8 is it. You will also need to install a proportioning valve for 4 wheel disc, or install and aftermarket one, Wilwood makes a nice adjustable one for about $120, i think.

OK, so it was in a foxbody before, no worries then. You are still going to need to install a proportioning valve for a 4 wheel disc setup.
