Default Making a crown vic 8.8 work

Hey new to the forums but been lurking around for some time. I currently have a 8.8 out of a Crown Vic disassembled. I was wondering if any one could help and guide me in the right direction for a torque arm mount. Reason i chose this rear end is because of its length being similar to the stock f body rear end. Will a hiltsy torque arm mount work? Anyone out there have a Crown Vic rear in their car that can help? Sorry i know this topic has been beat to death but i just can't find an answer after months of searching.

What did your buddy do about the 3 bolt holes that are missing on the passenger side of his rear end?

what did you do to relocate the fill hole since the hiltsy mount will block the current fill hole ?
