Any differences in a 5.0L from an '89 ford van?

My dad just bought an '89 ford van from his buddy. It has a fuel injeted 5.0L in it, but I assume its a none HO (high output). If its not a HO, is the firing order different? Is it a roller block? Does it have E7TE heads? We may just take the driveline out of it and use if for a future buildup for one of our stangs, but I don't know anything specific about the non HO 5.0L. Anyone know anything or can you point me to where I might find information?

firing order is different IIRC. That is one major difference between the non-ho and the ho, which I believe makes that distinct sound of the mustang now.

I thought that they were also non-roller cam motors and had 28 oz imbalance.
