Most timing chain motors are interference, I'm not sure why that's relevant
Usually that's only a concern for engines with belts for when the belt breaks.

You'll have to step up to a 2011 or newer if you want a Coyote 5.0.
Any Mustang you look at will be a chain unless it is a Fox body with a 2.3L.
there are some issues with chains also we see hemi engines once in a while with a broken chain..

But my cousin's sister's boyfriend's uncle's daughter's teacher's kid once had a chain snap, so all timing chains are bad and belts that are guaranteed to snap are better!!!

Depends on the quality level of the gears.
That's where the "expensive" part of it comes in.

Yeah my 4.9 is almost silent and the plastic gear has lasted over 300000km so I'm happy.
Last year for the Windsor 302 was '94, then the new 5.0 returned in '11 (brother has a '94 Cobra, that's how I know).

You could get the 302 through the 1995 model year. 1996 introduced the Modular 4.6L...from Windsor or Romeo.
My dad had a '92 5.0 LX. What a fun little car that was. I learned to drive a stick on that car...difficult with a touchy clutch and a bunch of GT-40 parts in it.

My 95 Mustang has a Windsor 5.0. The 96-99 modulars all came from Romeo in the Mustang. Around late 99-early 2000 was when there was the incident at the Romeo plant and they started putting engines from Windsor Engine Plant in the Mustangs.

That, and making a SOHC or DOHC engine with timing gears isn't easy.
Scroll down 25%-30% down this page, and you will see how difficult it is:
