Just out of curiosity...is it possible to change the firing order of the LS1/6 to that of LT or previous block engines...has anyone done it?

Reason I ask is because alot of forum membrs asked why LS engines dont have that rumbly musclecar tone...and was thinking if someone ever ran the LS with the oldschool firing order for sound or other reasons?

Piece of cake. Custom crank, cam, Stand alone ECU

is there any reason why the current firing order would be better than the older ones? Why did they change it with the LS engines?

Cybermind

It's my understanding that the main reason the firing order is different is for engine reliability. So, I don't recommend it (if it's even possible).

A common complaint of the L98/LT1 C4 owners was that they did not have the old school rumble either. Maybe try the Ford firing order.

Why would you want to be shaken to death?! I don't like rumble. I like smooth. I want my car to accelerate as fast and smooth as possible.

Why would I want to go slower?

Here is the reason for the firing order change, according to Wikipedia:


"The cylinder firing order was changed to 1-8-7-2-6-5-4-3, so that the LS series now corresponds to the firing pattern of other modern V8 engines (for example the Ford Modular V8)."

Funny, after reading above posts that this IS FORD'S FIRING ORDER !

Got nothing better to do with your time or MONEY?

Anything is possible if you got enough of it!

Something tells me the OP with a 12 year old car, money would be an issue. How much $$ do you drop in a black hole for something silly like this? Should install a FLUX CAPACITOR instead.

DarkSpeed

Well, lets just say all the money I spent on mods more than my college tuition I was simply curious if anyone has ever done it and it actually made it sound like the oldschool block corvettes

Flux capacitor is on the mod list....

robert miller

Dam mod,s do add up for sure. I agree on more spent on mods than over 4 yrs of college. Robert

facepalm

Why would you need or want to alter something like that? The car was designed and engineered that way for a reason.

TriplBlk

Only reason I can think is because to change the sound of the car. Main reason people say the mustang sounds better than the vette is due to it's firing order.

Much easier to just change the cat back exhaust - I have Corsa Pace Cars on mine and while they may not sound like a 60's muscle car, to they make a huge difference in how the car sounds from stock.

Just pull the LS1 and install an old school Chevy 327!
