What's the physical difference in firing order between the Mustang and the Chevy that would cause the difference in exhaust sound?
It's a tough one to get your head around :yes:... Still thinking............
Yes, Ford does number different, but Ford has #1 on Pass side front.While the firing order is different between chevy and ford, don't they also number thier cylinders differently?
Chevy Ford
Engine Front
1 2 1 5
3 4 2 6
5 6 3 7
7 8 4 8
I thought I read somewhere that on the new vette's the firing order changed to reduce crank loading (4/7 swap), but ends up firing the cylinders in the same sequence as ford if you number the cylinders the same.
So, now close you eyes and ponder what a SBC that fires LRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLR ... sounds like :thumbsup:I have thought about this today as I drove my tractor around. ...
Chevy LRRLRLLRLRRLRLLRLRRLRLLRLRRLRLLRLRRLRLLRLRRLRLLRLRRLRLLRLRRLRLLR
Ford LLLRRLRRLLLRRLRRLLLRRLRRLLLRRLRRLLLRRLRRLLLRRLRRLLLRRLRRLLLRRLRR
If there is actually a difference in the sound of the exhaust in these engines, this is likely the difference. :yes:
This was quite a mind bending effort. I think it is only fair as compensation for such effort that someone rewards me with a numbers matching '69 pace car in immaculate condition .
Exactly! This was the info in my two deleted posts. The same pattern exists.The exact same LRRLRLLR pattern exists in each firing order.
Nah, that is part of my shorthand180° headers are really cool...
Ononova - is that like Yoko?
