Jason:
 Just a few corrections:
All Ford HEGO's are 4 wire units.
All gen1/Gen2 SHO's have the O2 sensors ahead of the catalytic converters.

> Bosch sensors for the SHO all have the same part number because they use

> lengths of wire; O2 sensors themselves are all the same (in the 'heated'
> category, which ours are in, they're a 2-wire plug). There are 2 of them
> in the car, one for each bank of cylinders. The front one is easy to
> find, just trace the exhaust pipe up around the tranny and there it is!
> It's a bitch to get off unless you have a crow's foot wrench (just ask
