Not that J is wrong, but I've found a more complete kit here:

...if you can shovel out $250.

I emailed bill at scperformance and he said that the t bird one that he sells, only a few bushings will fit so not good to buy the kit for only a few parts, and the mn12 site even says that it will not fit mark 8 in parethes. mn12 is scper old site anyway aint it. not that im arguing with you guys just dont want to buy something if it aint gonna fit. know if you guys bought it and it fit then thats another story ill trust ya but ya no.
If you are only gonna use the car for regular (not racing/high performance) I'd just use standard Lincoln bushings. Call or email Max at 5 Start Ford and check availablity and prices.
Or he may want them if he plans to keep the car for the long haul and doesn't want to have to do this all over again in 75k miles...the parts may not exist then.

You are right...some of the items will not work. But just looking at the pics, I can say that the following bushings will work:
Front strut rod
Lower control arm
Sway bar
The following bushings MIGHT work (I don't know):
Rack and pinion
Tie rod boots
Upper control arm
Judging by the wording in the kit's description, I would say that the "will not work" statement only applies to the bump-stops. I would assume the rest of the parts would indeed work - except for the rear strut rod bushings - though now that I think about it, those may fit onto that strange little bar that is attached to the rear lower arms. Someone else may know more about that.
