Well that's your problem right there- it should be 18436572 like any other
self-respecting V8 engine. (Of course while they are at it they would have to
number the cylinders like everybody else too.)
I'll tell you that I have timed very many V8 engines, and even if you know the
firing order by heart and you are careful when you do it, occasionally you will
cross a wire. It is definitely worthwhile to double-check that before moving
on to the more difficult parts.
There are aftermarket parts now that change the firing order of some engines.
I noticed on a car show on TV they were talking about aftermarket cams that
would change the firing order of the V8 Chevy just slightly, probably reversed
2 cylinders, and it would make a little more horsepower that way due to a
slight change in the way the breathing worked.
