There are 2 versions of this engine with different firing orders.

The "ZZ572" crate motors come in two versions: one with 572/620hp has a 9.6-1 CR and runs on pump premium gas. The other is a 572/720hp motor with 12.0-1 CR and runs on race fuels. They come with carb, distributor, tall deck aluminum intake, water pump, plug wires and more.

1-8-7-2-6-5-4-3 (most likely your firing order)

and

1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2.

I don't mean to be confusing but the spec sheet with the new crate engine big block should have the firing order for your engine.

Thanks for using FixYa.

Can anyone explain this firing order? 1-8-7-3-6-5-4-2 this order is only way my 572 will run why or what the heck??

Is this vehicle stock to your knowledge or did you buy it used? It appears that you have a cam shaft that swaps the 4/7 positions in the firing order.

Wow, a reply about an Australian based engine. I'm thinking since there is no reply that he just may have a US based engine just posted the wrong size. in which case this might help.

What engine size do i have? chevy 1968 c10 vin

Check this website and double check your vin number to see if its correct. That way you can determine what you have for your engine sixze. If your engiune number had CE at the very beginning it would be a replacement Crate Engine. Yours is not a crate engine replacement as far as I can tell from the numbers you posted

On the chevy small block v8 the numbers will be on the left side of the engine look for a small step right at the head / block mating area. The numbers will be in the form of a ser# get that number and call a good chevy dealer and they can tell what engine you got. But any small block chevy crate engine will be a 350 or a 305. they will act the same as far as tune up and any vacuum hoses to the carb or trans. They interchange of a sort.

Try setting the idle speed up a little--the racing cam in this engine will not allow idle very well at best. An improvement in the ignition system performance will help starting. This engine wasn't made to poop around in traffic.
