No. The 'Stang headers will not be a direct bolt-on. People have played with modifying the 'Stang headers to bolt onto an SC motor, but it involves cutting the collector on the one side, and then rotating it and re-welding it. I'm not sure if that is enough to get it to mate with the stock downtube. You may also require some tweaking to get it to bolt up to the exhaust system.

If you decide to go this route, I'm not sure which 'Stang model year(s) would be best. Perhaps some who have looked into this more seriously could help.

No. The '89 through '91 SC's had a different exhaust configuration, and a different fuel tank than the '92+ cars. In order for a '92 cat-back system to bolt onto an earlier SC, you would have to replace the fuel tank with the later style fuel tank at the very least.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
