cylinder numbering

[BJ's Snake]

OK Guys,
To settle a friendly arguement,can any one tell me the cylinder numbering and firing order for a 5litre HO mustang motor.

cheers
BJ

[750hp]

The 5.0 HO motors use the 351W firing order of 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8

cylinders 1-4 are the driver's side
cylinders 5-8 are the passenger side (in Australia !)

cylinders 1 and 5 are at the front of the motor, and work their way back.

What Craig said

[speed220mph]

Just to clarify what Craig said, cylinders 1-4 are on the driver's side in Australia, which is the RIGHT SIDE in any country. So, 1-4 RIGHT SIDE; 5-8 LEFT SIDE looking from the rear face of block forward.

4........
.........5
6........
.........7
8........

Cylinder #1 is always the forward most cylinder (easy to see with no head)

Because the 2 forward most pistons (and every opposing cylinder from there back) use the same journal, the easiest way to see which bank is #1 is to see which piston is the most forward.
