Guys,
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 nomenclature to the Ford numbering system, then
the Chevy firing order is the same as most of the Windsor motors
(1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8).
The Web page where I found this has some interesting history of the Chevy
V8. Sorry, no explanation for the different sounds of the two motors.
TTFN,
Bob
