2 different mufflers may work... either 2 different models or the same model but different case sizes.

compares these. They dont have a different firing order. Only number the cylinders differently. 18436572 is the same physical firing order as 54263781 on fords.

Fords has several different firing orders...there's conflicting info on the 'net. I found these:

1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8 5.0 Mustang order...different than gen 1 SBC
1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8 Some other Ford order same as Gen 1 SBC

You have to watch the numbering convention as Dusky said - there are only so many ways you can fire a V8 with a cross-plane crankshaft!

Cheers

Long Beach? I was just there a few months back. Ate at the German "Das Biergarten." Was great!! Owner is from Berlin (where I was stationed 1990-1994).

As for the OP, good luck finding a "raspy" exhaust. I believe the GHL Bullets (5" cans) on my C5 FRC with a forged 402, big cam, heads, LT Headers sounded like crap. It just sounded too, "tinny" or what some say, "raspy." In other words, it sounded cheap to me. Swapped out for B & B Bullets (without mufflers) and never looked back. Good luck.
