How are cylinders numbered on 5.0 MUSTANG?

The cylinders in a 5.0 Mustang engine (referring to the common modular 4.6L, 5.0L, and 5.4L engines) are numbered sequentially from the passenger side (right side) of the engine, starting at the front.

Therefore:

* Cylinder #1: Front, passenger side.

* Cylinder #2: Rear, passenger side.

* Cylinder #3: Front, driver side.

* Cylinder #4: Rear, driver side.

* Cylinder #5: Front, passenger side.

* Cylinder #6: Rear, passenger side.

* Cylinder #7: Front, driver side.

* Cylinder #8: Rear, driver side.

This is true for both the 4.6L and 5.0L Coyote and 5.4L modular engines commonly found in Mustangs. Always double-check your specific engine's configuration if you're unsure, by consulting a repair manual specific to your year and model.
