I had a discussion with someone the other day about these motors and he was sayin that the 99 and 01 Cobras have a forged crank in them. Now to my understanding the only SVT Cobra with forged internals were the 03 and 04 Cobras. Just looking to get this cleared up so I know who was right thanks.

Non supercharged were not forged, They did have a good nodular iron crank, but the later supercharged models had to have a forged crank to live. Hope this settles your debate, P.S. if you bet money just send me 1/2 lol

Don't send him the money yet, come on guys back me up don't the 99-01's SVT Cobra motors having Forged Cranks?

OK here's a couple links that point the debate in my favor that the 99-01 Cobra's have Forged Steel Cranks..
The Nodular Iron cranks were in the Mach1 Automatics!

The SVT Mustang Cobra's potent 4.6-liter, DOHC tumble-port V8 engine produces 320 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 317 foot-pounds of torque at 4,750 rpm.
The block is cast aluminum alloy, carrying a fully counterweighted, forged-steel crankshaft. Aluminum upper main, upper thrust and rod bearings add to the engine's durability. Six high-tensile steel bolts secure each main bearing cap, in an arrangement that spreads loads over a large area of the block.
The aluminum alloy pistons have shallow skirts and a special friction-reducing coating on their sliding surfaces, which improves both durability and the engine's free-revving characteristics. The pistons are designed to give the engine a compression ratio of 9.85:1.
