I am not correcting but want to make sure you arent misinformed. The mustangs didn't come with a forged bottom end in the 5.0's, only forged pistons. I believe the rods and crank were still cast pieces. In fact the only mustangs that I know of (I could very well be mistaken though) that came with a complete forged bottom end were the 03-04 cobras. |

well thats what I meant forged pistons... think they're forged?
So only thing different in this motor is gonna be the cam? even if its hyper bottom end it'll have just as much or more power output if I just swap in a b cam? and based on qwksnake I won't have to change the firing order of the plugs? |

You will also have to get a custom chip. The firing order is different, therefore the EEC will not work the way it is programmed.
You can either re wire the injector harness or get a chip. As for the crank it is the same on both HO and Non HO. All you need is the CAM and the chip.
