Using only two diodes in the bridge package should be fine.
I would just put a large power resistor (10W? 20W?) in series with the output. That should save the diodes from turnon inrush current and reduce peak currents. Running at 8A average on a good sized heatsink, a 50A diode will not be killed by the heat. It has to be peak currents.
