- Actually, it should be Chevy V8 versus Ford V8 sounds. Did you ever notice that the growl of a tuned Ford V8 has a very distinctive sound as does the Chevy V8? And this same general sound runs throug

- Found my answer right away by searching the Web. The Chevy V8 firing order is: 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2. On Chevys, cylinder #1 is the front left one, and #2 is front right, and so on. If you translate the n

- One possible cause (difference?)that is just a guess is the firing order between the two small blocks causing a difference in the gas pulse spacing coming out of the tailpipes. The first time I put t

- Guess you missed my post yesterday. Turns out the firing order for Chevy and Fords is the same, once you get past the different numbering convention. Chevy numbers the left front cylinder #1 and the

- My Ford Motorsport Catalog says that the 289/302's were 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8, while the 351W/C/M and 400's were 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8. These, of course, do not change the identification of which cylinder is whe

- As Bob Palmer points out, all they did was move the adjacent firing from 7-8 to 6-5. Maybe it moved it closer to the Center Main, but they are still adjacent. Steve -- Steve Laifman < Find out what
