No later, they use the 8mm bolts. My 99 used 8mm bolts as well but the 98's seem to have been a crossover year and had 10mm or 8mm bolts. My 98 Taurus block used 10mm bolts so to make it fit I drilled/tapped the 99 contour motor mount to fit the 10mm bolts and problem was solved.
On the '01 escape it used an identical mount as the 99contour mount I had, both in bolt size, shape, and functionality. So consider it another source of a motor mount if you wish.

Okaaaaay. A little grinding would have saved $ on a new gasket, TTY bolts, removing the cams, redoing the timing if that was done. 40 minutes of grinding > removing a head.

From I've been told it doesn't matter. The gaskets are coated and have been compressed. Reuse is not recommended.
