Connect them? What do you mean what do you do, you'll need to be more specific about where you are having an issue. I know on the fronts SN95 use different size left to right but you can connect them easily if you've got the stock SN95 line connected to the caliper still.

Do what I did.... buy 6' steel lines from Oreillys, some flared unions, a tubing Bender and have at it. Mine worked great
Front?
Which caliper do you have?
As far as I know, 2.3L front brake lines are the same. The sn95 line should mate directly to the drivers side brake line, the pass side needs a weather head 7828 adapter.
But I could be wrong. Either way, there are adapters that will work, but we need to know what you are working with. You've asked a vague question in which we need more info

Dude, that's gonna be expensive. And fox brake lines don't fit SN or newer cars without adapters. If u can get the old fox rubber lines off the steel without destroying the nuts, just buy brake line adapters. I bought mine at Oreillys. If u do damage the steel line nuts... buy regular 3/16" six foot lines and bend them yourself

So either adapters now, or adapters with the new $300 brake line kit.
Now that I think about it, 2.3L guys frequently upgrade to 5.0 brakes and bolt the 5.0 hoses on without adapters. So they are the same up front.
You are missing the point.
Doesn't matter if you have 2.3L body lines, or 5.0 body lines...you need adapters. So save your money.
Lets try this
See what i'm getting at? If you buy 5.0 lines, you will do the same thing...this is a pic off my 5.0
No, since you have a 1992, there are a few different parts you need...all aftermarket ford parts.
You need two of these

And one of these
Ford Racing M-2810-A - Ford Racing Parking Brake Cables - Overview - SummitRacing.com
And here is your instruction manual

Parking brake stuff starts on page 15. You gotta do the mods to the handle as shown to defeat the automatic adjuster or the brakes will drag.
A few other items not shown. An 8mm nut for the center cable, some "e" clips for the parking brake cables where they attach to the caliper, and the cable guides that attach tp the lower control arm

If you go to a boneyard, you can snag these off an sn95. They are bolted to the side of the lower control arm on the sway bar mount.

For four wheel disc, I believe master cylinder and booster need to be swapped for either 93 cobra or SN and up. Proportioning valve too. Btw, we were all telling u what mustang5l5 told u . I guess its easier to show than explain though. At least u understood. So that's good.
