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?
