Exclamation 94 GT to 2003 cobra IRS 3.55 rear swap

Just what the title says:

My uncle wrecked his 03 cobra (heartbreaking i know), but ive heard it is easy to bolt the IRS from his car right onto my rear.

yes i know mine isnt IRS, but on of my friends assures me it isnt too complicated because that was fords ideal behind the whole thing; that they wanted to make it easy, and use the same shell/frame for the IRS and non-IRS

so basically:

1. Is this possible?
2. If so, how difficult would it be? (ie, would it require welding and crap, or would it all just bolt on?
3. If all that goes well, i have a tremec tko500, so i needed a driveshaft spacer when i did the swap, so would i need to continue using that, or would i possibly need another one, or something?
4. Any comments or concerns about this swap.

Its almost a BOLT ON deal, you need to reinforce a few areas where the IRS attaches to the frame, but thats about it.

The TKO is longer, you will need a shorter DS , move the trans mount about 3 inches, and a different slip yoke.

Check www.ddperformance.com or www.hanlonmotorsports.com

y would i need a shorter DS? wouldnt the location where it meets the rear end be the same? i already have the tko in and it all works fine.

y would i need to move the trans mount? y a new slip yoke?
