I am new to forum, searching for general info on mercedes v8 and its crankshaft design/firing order for a personal project. Will return info here if interested , in exchange for the help. It is basically a computer animation.The www and searching the billionares search engine is (google-as usual) returning ridiculous stuff. I found this firing order:

MERCEDES - 1 5 4 8 6 3 7 2 #1 is on the drivers side (1,2,3,4)

I am hoping this is common on all mercedes gas v8?
Is the crankshaft similar to American Chevy v8(small block)?
Any help appreciated. My email is below.
