On the 1989 5.0's, were the pistons forged? And if they were, were they flat or dome? I'm trying to rebuild one from a short block but all i can find are cast pistons, and i want the original forged pistons if thats what it had when they came out. I found some forged ones that are dome and flat and i don't know which ones to get.

im working on an 88gt that has a 302 out of a crown vic. I changed out everything from the cam up, and am wanting to throw 100 to 150 shot in it. will the pistons take it??

Thanks for posting up and for the information about it. I was very curious more about on the Cylinder Head Bolt Set that you might have used in different kinds of engine and on it's age. But on your post, I was able to understand it more on the specifications given. Keep it up!

this is very helpful! doing a engine swap in my 91. putting in a 95 engine the distributor cap info helps a lot. I might post some questions soon as I put it all back together since I have no idea what I am doing haha

Has anyone lost power after first and feels like the car just revs up and barely moves, I can't figure out what is wrong and can really use some advice? 93 302

So I bought a mustang 1991 5.0 Mustang but it was over heating so I replaced the Water Pump but the question I have what should the temperater be in normal driving on the cluster?

In to out, just like the heads. At least I think that's right.

The only addition I can think of that would make this thread better would be an engine bolt part number list.
