V8 engine with cylinder numbering based on crankshaft position (instead of following each cylinder bank) In a V engine the frontmost cylinder is usually #1, however there are two common approaches: Numbering the cylinders in each bank sequentially (e.g. 1-2-3-4 along the left bank and 5-6-7-8 along the right bank).
The M176/M177/M178 is a petrol V8 engine range designed by Mercedes-AMG, replacing the M278 and M157 engines, and is based on the M133 engine. [1]The engine has two BorgWarner turbochargers positioned between the two cylinder heads in a "hot-V" configuration.
The firing order is the same as the other AJ-V8 engines although the cylinder numbering is different (AJ37 = 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8 vs. AJ26 = 1-2-7-3-4-5-6-8). The engine is assembled by hand at the AM facility in Cologne, Germany, which also builds the V12 for the DB9 and Vanquish. The cylinder block, cylinder heads, crankshaft, connecting rods ...
The cylinder firing order was changed to 1-8-7-2-6-5-4-3 [46] so that the LS series now corresponds to the firing pattern of other modern V8 engines (for example the Ford Modular V8). 3.898 in. bore blocks (1997–2005)
The bore spacing of 4 + 3 ⁄ 4 in (120.7 mm) was unlike any American V8 engine, with the sole exceptions of Buick's big block V-8 and AMC American Motor's V-8 line which share the same identical 4.750 bore centers, and the firing order was 1-5-4-8-6-3-7-2 something uncommon in any period American OHV V8.

The Mercedes-Benz M273 engine is a V8 automobile piston engine family used in the 2000s (decade). It was based on the similar M272 V6 introduced in 2004.. An evolution of the M113 V8, [1] all M273s have aluminium engine blocks, sequential port fuel injection, fracture-split forged steel connecting rods, a one-piece cast crankshaft, and a magnesium intake manifold.
The first V engine, a two-cylinder V-twin, was designed by Wilhelm Maybach and used in the 1889 Daimler Stahlradwagen automobile. [1]The first V8 engine was produced in 1903, in the form of the Antoinette engine designed by Léon Levavasseur for racing boats and airplanes.
