To correct this, they had TRW style forged pistons up till 93 and every 5.0 has forged rods and a CAST crank.

why are you so worried a stock crank will hold more power than a stock block.

TRW is a cheap brand of forged pistons, they are strong, but heavy as shit. I think that is where ford sourced the forged pistons in the pre-93 HO motors.

TRW was the premeire piston of choice back in the day, nothing better back then. They were contracted by ford to supply those 302 slugs along with a zillion other applications
