Well almost.....
After alot of research and help from a bunch of people on this site I've found a bolt on manual steering rack option for our cars that uses the stock outer tie rod ends and ball joints.
It starts with a Flaming River manual rack for a 1994-2004 Mustang. You then must replace the inner tie rods that come with the Flaming River rack with Mood EV405 inner tie rod ends. These are from early 90s Dodge Caravans.
The stock outer ends then attach directly.
The rack and inner tie rod assembly winds up about 1.5" shorter than the stock assembly but there was plenty of extra length where the inner and outer ties rods mate to allow the threads to be fully engaged and provide whatever slight adjustment was needed.
