Mustang motor


The 5.0 pushrod motor (302 type windsor) can handle how much psi reliably?? Im thinking i want to do a 12 psi boost.. do i need to do forged internals or what? are they forged already?

no they should work fine its the pistons and crank you gotta worry about but 12psi from a supercharger should be fine

87-92 has forged pistons. The block is the weak link, not the internals. Once you hit around 500hp you start getting into the danger zone.
