However, the most commonly referenced years for Mustangs with a 5.0L High Output engine are within the Fox-body platform (1979-1993), primarily the late 1980s. The 5.0L HO engine was available in several years within this generation, with significant power increases between 1987 and later years. You might find variations in the exact horsepower ratings and features depending on the year.
To get the exact years, you'd need to specify which generation and confirm the specific "HO" designation in the model year brochures or other official documentation.
