[DeTomaso] 351w or 351c

351C and 351W has the same firing order. And the difference between say a low end 5.0 and a HO 5.0 is in the cam. The crank is the same layout and you can change the firing order with a cam swap, and plug wire routing. More work is needed for a sequential EFI, but not mechanically.

> I thought the sound might be different because different SBFs can have different firing orders?  If that is what creates the difference in sound, is there any reason why you can't use the 351C firing order in a custom built 351W?  Other than firing order, it seems like the cam, heads, headers, etc. will determine how the car sounds regardless of having a Cleveland or Windsor block.

Also has a flat tapper cam. Neither of them can honestly remember what the internals or specs are, but knowing them it is as radical as you can get 18 years ago.

I have an engine credit at a well established engine shop, so not going to cost me anything.
