Default Useless 5.0 Coyote Fact:

"The firing order has been changed from that shared by all previous Modular V8s (1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8) to that of the Ford Flathead V8 (1-5-4-8-6-3-7-2)."




My Dad and his Buds told me about Racing those Old Flathead V8's back in the day. This pic is nothing special just something I ran across reading about the Modular Ford V8 & its evolution up to the 5L COYOTE.
