Does anyone know if Ford made a roller cam with the 15426378 firing order? I found one in a 302 that appears to be stock factory.

Ford used the 351 firing order cams on high output applications such as the Mustangs. Crown vic's, town cars and others got the traditional 302/289 firing order cams. I have one sitting in my garage right now out of a 1988 Country Squire, a 155 hp 196,000 mile motor and it has the roller with the old firing order.

Ducemac,
Didn't know that. Thought I had something special. Do you know anything about the spec's of this cam?
Thanks,
Em

Nothing special about the cam, just a groceries getter type. The first step up is the Mustang Gt cam that is rated at 225 hp. After that it is Ford motorsports E303 cam or the aftermarket. The Gt cam, bigger throttle body, roller rockers and a good port job on some E7TE heads will wake up that engine. If you are using it in a Crown Vic or other full sized car, you will need a Lincoln Mark VII LSC ecm to manage the engine properly. That is how I made my 1988 country squire into the only 4 door, wood grained, tailgated Mustang GT in my neighborhood!

Deuceman,
