Registered: Nov 2000	posted 02-02-2004 01:48 PM theoredicaly, the engine with the 351 order could last longer than the 302 firing order. the 302 firing order (1-5) hits the front main bearing pretty hard because they fire almost the same time on the front of the engine. where the 351 order (1-3) spreads the load out somewhat. but as far a performance gaines, i doubt if it would be noticable. ------------------ mike r racing is real everything else is just a game. 81 capri-7.47 @90mph 1/8 1.54 60 ft. http://www.angelfire.com/ny5/billswebsite/pg06.html IP: Logged
