Idk if you know or not but svo/93 cobra rear ends are longer than standard fox 8.8 so I can't just go ahead and swap ranger axles on there and call it a day.

Yes you can, the housing should be the same length as a stock fox. The axles are where the length comes from. The SVO and 93 cobra rear ends are completely different. 93 COBRA is a fox length housing with 3/4 longer axles per side and 10 inch vented brakes(thunderbird turbo coupes had this rear rear end first with better gear ratios). North race cars makes a pair of brackets to use the stock 93 Cobra/Turbo coupe brakes with fox length axles. SVO's were equipped with either a 7.5 (84-85) or 8.8(86) which was was a 5-lug rear rear end with with a fox housing, axles that were 1.5 inches longer per side and 11 inch vented brakes. You can flip the brackets and use fox axles (search "flipped Lincoln brake swap"). Either way you can do fox lenth axles, and you're comparing apples to oranges.
