forged internals

yes or no, '87 internals were forged, and were they flat top pistons?

I'm asking this so I know what I can and cannot do to my 5.0 in the future (want to do an HCI swap in the future. (cant afford it now, no way)

RE: forged internals

You asked about forged but indicated you wanted to do an HCI...hyper and or forged will work with any HCI and when tuned right can be used for boost and or NO2.
