Chevron Delo ESI, syn oil performance with a dino price . Do a web search.
Amsoil Severe Gear in the proper viscosity, you can't buy a better gear oil.

At a Chevron oil jobber look them up in the phone book or at a place that sells commercial truck parts . I buy the Delo at the oil jobber.
For your axle: discounted Amsoil "Severe Gear", mail-order from of our forums Amsoil reps.
For your trans: not sure what the popular lube on the Mustang forums is for your trans but I think it's Mercon V ATF. If that's true then you'd be fine with the Wal-Mart house brand of Mercon V. All brands of Mercon V are virtually the same (have to be per Ford licensing agreement).

You should call the store or jobber by where you live and the Amsoil at 1 year change intervals isn't the proper application and you will never receive any value for the money spent.
If it were mine it would get Redline or amsoil. SVG isnt the "end all be all gear oil" in every application FYI.
If that rear end is a positraction type, make sure you get a fluid with additives in it - specifically stated for posi rear ends on the label.
For a common fluid, Mobil 1 75-90 is good.
For the trans, skip the ATF and use a real gear oil. Synchromesh types are slightly thicker than ATF, offer better protection, and shift better.
Amsoil or Redline are 2 of the best.

Even though it cost 10.00 a qt Redline is well worth it.
Also Dougherbert.com has redline motor oil for 8.99 a Qt.

I scored RL 75W-140 for almost $2 less per quart (including shipping) than I could get M1 or Motorcraft 75W-140 locally. More for less, win - win in my book.

Redline wasn't that impressive in Amsoil's gear oil study, actually failed two tests and came in last place in the Oxidation test:
