Under the OBDII standard, bank 1 is *always* defined as the bank that contains cylinder #1 - for all vehicles.
Note: That means for inline engines, that only have one bank, that bank is bank 1.
As 2xLS1 said, (for the LS1) bank 1 is the drivers side in the US, but is the passenger side in other countries like Australia and New Zealand. That is why (in SAE J2012 - Diagnostic Trouble Codes) the SAE defines bank 1 based on cylinder #1 and not "driver/passenger" side.
So to know which side it is on your Ford, you'll need to know which side has cylinder #1.

Bank 2 is the front towards radiator cyl. # 4,5, & 6.
