the birds were not ho's. to my knowlage only the mark VII had ho's. the difference between a ho and a standard is cam and intake, the pistons were still 9.1 but not forged.

pretty sure the mn12 chassis t-bird had the 5.0 ho... since i got an all stock 92 sport that has a 5.0 ho in it.... it was a lil under rated then the mustang 5.0 though.. rated at 200hp and 275ft/lbs.

the e6 model 5.0 was used past 86 in cars other than the mustang, and the hp ratings in 94/95 are not lower than the fox hp ratins in fact they are higher because ford changed how it rated hp in 93
93 gt was rated at 205
94/95 was rated at 215
