The 94 - 98 and 99 - 04 kmembers will bolt up perfectly fine. Doesnt matter what year. The 94 - 04 V6 kmembers to my knowledge are the same as the 5.0. The 4.6 K would need to be drilled in order for the 5.0 to 'bolt up'.

You need to stay with fox a-arms though. You can keep the 99 - 04 spindles, hub and brakes. Just use fox (Length) a-arms with SN95 ball joints and you'll be fine.

The racks physically bolt up,.. but the fox and the sn95 steering shaft ends are not shaped the same and I think I read somewhere that they come up a little short when using an SN95 rack in a fox car. Also bare in mind that the tie rod ends on the SN95 rack will be longer. I heard that you can crowd them in and it would be fine. Or you can swap them out with fox tie rod ends.
You can physically bolt up the entire K and rack from a 99 and bolt everything into the fox. Physically they are interchangeable.

Oh,.. shocks. Since for what you are doing these are pretty critical,.. use fox struts. They are shorter than the SN95 struts. I have read where guys use fox struts in lowered SN95 cars for better handling. I would no use SN95 struts in a fox car ever unless it was just to roll a car around.
