Timing chain question

I have a '91 F-150 with the5.8L. Does this have a timing sprocket set for retarded timimg? If so, can an earlier 351W set be used without ill effects or computer trouble? I must pass Arizona emissions, not as strict as CA.

Post this question in the 221/260/289/302/351w V8 forum, maybe someone there knows.

5.8 W's of the later years have a roller timing chain, simular to high perf. sets that you buy with advance and retard key ways, but factory sets dont have the extra key ways...at least what I remember from selling them over the counter.
