cobra motor cranks, can you guys end the debate please?

[bored&stroked]

We are having a debate on another board [a v6 site] I thought I read that all cobra motors [4.6 DOHC] had 8 bolt rear flanged, forged cranks. One guy belives only the manual tranny motors got the forged, while the automatic cars got cast cranks. Which is correct?

SVT Cobras have never came in an automatic. The 4v cranks are forged.

Maybe they have some confusion with the Mach1 engines...Only the Mach1's with manual trannys come with an 8 bolt main and forged crank...the automatics have cast cranks and 6 bolt mains...

Hmmm, perhaps the guy on the V6 board was thinking of the Mach I engines (afterall, they are also DOHC, so maybe he was *assuming* that the Mach shared the same engine as the Cobra, sans the blower). I'm guessing the guy was confused, that's all.

Anyways, the manual equipped Machs come w/ a forged crank, while the automatic equipped Machs use a cast crank.
