Ok...i searched again just like last time. I came up with this post. I am just trying to be sure so here it goes.
I have a 99 V6 cougar...will SVT cams "bolt right in" to my motor without HAVING to buy new timing equipment? What i am asking is...is the timing equipment for the 98 SVT cams i am buying the same as the timing equipment in my car?

You can use the cams. Most likely you will need to use all of the timing equipment from a 98 with them, as the change to narrow chains and sprockets probably came part way through the 99 model year. If you need the wide parts, you will also need the appropriate timing cover.
I'm not sure, but I suspect that the change happened at the same time as the change from return fuel system to returnless fuel system.
Check the build date and post it. Maybe someone knows the changeover date (a dealer parts person should be able to look it up). The build date is on the VIN sticker on the driver's door.

My car is a return style car and the build date is 12/98 i think...let me go check.

100% Incorrect.
The change happened "by" the 2001 model year. The estimated date is at the end of the 2000 MY (some late 2000 3L engines are small pitch but also OVAL cams - COMPLETLY different story) but "to date" no Contour/Mystique has ever been found to have small pitch timing components. Definitely not any SVT.
The timing pitch change had nothing to due with the change to the returnless fuel system; date or parts-wise.
