Without having one in front of me to look at, I do believe most Fords have Bank 1 on the passenger side. This is opposite of the GM engines.

When in doubt, look to see which cylinder bank is more forward of the other bank. The bank that is more forward than the other one will be bank 1, with cylinder 1 being the most forward one on that bank. The only other variable between makes is how cylinders are numbered. Chevy and Dodge go odd numbers down bank 1 and even numbers down bank 2. Ford goes 1-2-3-4 down bank 1 and 5-6-7-8 down bank 2.

For something even more hair pulling, I once had a misfire code on a Dodge 3.5 V-6 for cylinder 5. No matter what I did to cylinder 5, I couldn't get the miss to move. What it ended up being was the computer was flagging the 5th cylinder in the firing order instead of the actual cylinder #5. Kind of makes you want to go strangle the engineer at Dodge HQ that used that kind of twisted logic when programming the PCM.
