would you recommend forged internals?
They dont know what injectors your have. Me and my friends have passed emissions with 24# and 30# injectors with no issues. Those guys have no clue.Chythar said:I researched this recently, and that's right - nothing is different. The blocks, crank, pistons and rods are 100% identical. It's the H/C/I that's different.
I'm in CA, so I gotta worry about emissions. When I rebuild my GT's engine, I'll be putting the Cobra H/C/I on plus the 24lb injectors. Then I'm saying I dropped in a Cobra engine. Great way to legally get 24/lb injectors.

yup, alot of us guys with fox bodies, got trw forged pistons. pretty coolmo_dingo said:89-92 5.0's had forged pistons only. 96-98 & 99/01 cobras had forged cranks only. 03-04 had entire assembly forged.

nazstang said:i guess so. it's kind of weird, i'd figure the newer motors would be forged. i got a 94 cobra, and it's kind of strange, that my other stang's motor,that's 17 years old is probably more bullettproof than my baby!(the cobra)
95snoozer said:nah not really. bulletproof is a term not to be used with any stock 5.0 block
as long as you arent spraying and running way lean there is no reason why they wont make the same power.
i have seen all make over 500 to the wheels
