I honestly don't remember any of them coming with forged slugs? The old 351HO's from the F150's of the 80's were cast if I remember and the Lightning and Cobra R motors used hyperutectics.

Unless you pick yourself up an ol S351 engine, you're probably going to have to dip into the aftermarket for better pistons than that?
