5.0 Rotating Assembly

[Isaac]

I am assuming most the people know that the 87-92 pistons are forged & 93 are hypereutectic & for both types of engines the rods & crankshaft are cast. If you can only answer one please do so. Thanks in advance to everyone that helps.

1) What year engines are both the crankshaft & rods the exact same as the 87-92 H.O.?
2) Are the 5.0 & the 5.0 H.O. connecting rods & crankshaft different?

I'm pretty sure the difference between a 5.0 HO and a regular 5.0 is..

5.0 HO:
Forged pistons (till '92)
351W firing order HO spec camshaft
E7TE heads

Regular 5.0:
Cast pistons
old 302 style firing order (maybe not though)
Passenger car heads

I already know those differences. I am wondering if there is any difference in the crankshaft & rods. Thats it. I will be putting my forged pistons on the rods.

I think everything else is the same.

Balancing weight is the same for the high output 5.0 & the regular 5.0? they are both 50oz imbalanced?
