95 5L question?????

muskys67 · 03-31-2002, 09:49 PM

I just wanted to know what years of the 5L mustang engine had forged pistons? I'm considering buying a 95 engine and I'm wondering if it is safe to run nitrous or a supercharger on it. I'm going to transplant the engine into my 91 T-Bird Supercoupe.

Thanx

forged pistons had their swan song in '92, unless they were revived later, which they may very well have been.

all 87-92 Mustang 5.0's had forged pistons

Nope, they had hypereutectic cast pistons, which actually aren't too bad unless you plan on forced induction or nitrous.

1985(4bbl only)1986-1992 5.0s had forged pistons.

1985 Forged dished.
1986 Forged Flat top.
1987-1992 Forged flat top with valve relief.

Yes, you can supercharge or put N20 on the 1995. Just don't exceed 8-9psi on the charger, and I wouldn't run over a 100-125shot.
