93 Mustang GT
Glad to be part of this site. I have a 93 Mustang GT with some light mods. Looking for help rebuilding it.
My concern is using the forged 90 pistons in my 93 5.0 engine. There is a difference in piston weight, the forged one weighs 23 grams mo than the hyper pistons, but everything else remains the same, rings, bearings, etc.
Do I need to balance the engine? can I just installed the forged units without balancing the engine?

Thanks for the advise...
 
One would think that provided the pistons are within spec and the gudgeon pins are the same you should be fine.

Surprised that the forged pistons are heavier.
 
Thanks St24 and T9! I lived in the UK for almost 4 years, back in the 70's; My youngest son was born there.
