Ok now lets say your going from a normal 302 to the ** firing order

so are you saying i can just switch my nonHO to ** ? ( firing order)

and no other mods? cause what youre saying about firing one then five makes alot of sense.

ok you all have lost me I have a carb not a EFI. I am running a HEI Dizzy and a Holly 500. No computer at all. If I was to change out the 2bbl to a 4bbl and intake would that technically give me a H.O. ?

OK this post kinda got off track thanks YARDAPE LOL . No you absolutely cannot just change the firing order that is determined by the camshaft . In order to change from the 302 firing order to the 351 or 302 ** firing order you must change the camshaft to a 351W or 302HO camshaft . If you just change the order it wont run . Now back to the ** question if you put a 4 barrel intake on your 2 barrel 351 then esentially you have made a 5.8L ** although your cam will have a little different profile it is the same concept . /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Do the **'s have the E7TE heads, or are they all the same?

 

[MDDYATV]

Thanks blade for the simple answer.

 

[bobstrat]

No you absolutely cannot just change the firing order

thanks for answering that.

ive been scratching my head since i read it.

i always assumed the cranks were different.

The answer to that Yardape is no they all dont have that head that head would be off an 87 Im sure you know how the ford part numbering system works but for anyone who doesnt know here ya go it all started in the 1940,s with the model A from there you go 1950,s B 60,s C 70,s D 80,s E 90,s F and so on . So that head would be a 87TE I do not know what the last two characters mean I would assume casting plant maybe . The DOVE heads for the 460 that everyone wants are 1970 heads . This goes for all ford parts the first 2 characters almost always designate the year of manufacture look around on your truck and if its lets say a 91 youll probably find part numbers back atleast 3 yrs /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
