Forged or not? Need some help.

Alright, I'm trying to figure out whether these are forged pistons or not. I'm not sure what year the motor is, I THINK it's a 92' but I don't want to guess at it. I want to know for sure whether they are forged or not. They have TRW stamped on the inside on one side, and then a "k" stamped on the other side.

I'm pretty sure those are forged. I believe all the forged pistons in the 5.0's had the TRW stamp. My 92 motor had the same ones.

Hmm, thanks for the reply. So far forged has got one vote. Any more opinions guys?

In 1988 and 1989 Ford put forged TRW pistons in the 5.0L.click on link below and read about trw pistons ford put in the 88-89 stangs do your pistons look like the ones in the picture if so this should be the final vote...lol

What do the piston tops look like? From the photo, the letters look more like a raised casting than a stamping.
