I dunno Doug, this is an FE. I know even less about it than I do the Cleveland. Maybe it is ok to hook up the spark plugs wrong on an FE. THey are pretty dern tuff, you know??
DT, gaining HP by switching the firing order was for the Chevy SB.
You just can't randomly switch them because one looks prettier on #6 then #5.
Well you can, but the car won't run to good.
As far as being a tough engine, I wouldn't use that termanology. They do make good industrial, particularly irrigation engines.
The mechanic on them needs to be tough to just do the plugs.
I need to get psyched up for a couple of weeks before I do them on my GT500. Then I need both psychological counciling and physical therapy afterwards, particularly since the 2x4's foul the plugs the first time you fire it up.
