How about swapping the upholstery and padding, if needed, onto the old seats? That way you keep the early headrests. Color mismatch? Take a look inside a 97 Taurus LX with tan leather interior. Ford had no qualms about pairing that with a nearly black dash and center console.
For using the newer seats with their fancy pants multi-motion, I suspect someone sufficiently skilled with a bus pirate and arduino coding could put together an interface, or build an independent system, with more position memory than factory.
The bus pirate is used to capture data streams between electronic components for reverse engineering the signals, usually with the intent to design something different to connect, or go between the original components.
An Arduino is a microcontroller on a board with various peripheral chips and interfaces, plus a uniquely designed software environment for the program it runs. For some reason Arduinao programs are called "sketches". This platform typically has several General Purpose I/O pins that can be programmed to do pretty much whatever you want. Input, Output, or both, digital, analog etc. Since Arduino is open source there are tons of clones that cost less than the official models, and many of the clones have feature sets not available on anything the Arduino company makes.
There are a lot of vehicle hacks and mods on the web where people have used these to add stuff that was never available originally.
