mach1 rod/piston?


did some quick research and came up short, i can never get the search to work correctly. How strong are the mach1 rods/pistons? as far as i can remember they're just as weak as the other 4.6's. but want to be sure. I got offered a complete motor to trade for my 347 but I'll only take it if it'll handle some decent hp, which i doubt.

Rods are the same but the crank might be forged if its from a manual mach.

the stock mach 1 long block can handle 450whp on safe tunes. some people have pushed 500+ whp out of them but it is just a matter of time until something goes.
