First make sure it's an 8" and not one of those 7 3/4". check to see if it has a front or rear removable plate. If it comes off the back, it's the 7 3/4" and you'll need to go find a good 8".
Is this a pinto or mustang2 rear end?
Regardless take out the axles and have a machine shop redrill and spline them to the 5 lug pattern, the street rod and racers do this all the time.
They made 8" as a 4 lug for the Mavericks. Pretty rare though. Do the check first though.
