Is the distributor from a 90 5.0 mustang the same as any other?

I am buying a 5.0 form a yard out of a 90 Lincoln LSC (same as mustang). It is missing the distributor and valve covers. Are these the same pieces that are on any other ford motor besides the 5.0 HO ?? This is the only H.O. in the yard, but there are tons of F-150s, town cars, mercs, etc. Tell me where to find one.

Well what you are looking for are things like:

Did the distribtor come from a roller motor? If so then you can use it in another roller motor. If not the steel gear will chew a non-roller camshaft.

Is the distribtor a TFI module unit. If so then its a perfect swap into the MK7 engine.

Any distribtor from a roller camshaft (HO) engine will work.

Valve covers are a driect swap

This is a distributor out of a 88-93 5.0 HO mustang

I didn't know if this was different than other 5.0's because the 5.0 HO has a different firing order. Does anyone know?
