Don't believe everything you hear. Ford would not fit different pistons so someone else can fit a turbo to them. If it had forged pistons the engine would have to have been rebuilt elsewhere. Most likely rebuilt when it was getting the turbo conversion.

i agree with Bossxr8,

there are two Brock B8 Turbos going around that i know of, a red one and a white one, both after market installs.

Maybe he meant forged as in 'factory fakes'?


Well.. you can forge passports, why not pistons?
