What year Mustangs with forged pistons?
What year Mustangs did they start and end putting forged pistons in the 5.0 roller blocks?

I think it's 87-92, the 93's had the hyperutectic piston that don't hold up tp alot of boost or nitrous.

Some 93's had the forged pistons also. I think that if you have the black oil pan it is forged, and the grey is not.

As far as I know, '85 roller motors to '93's came with the forged pistons. This oil pan stuff is news to me.
