All Mach's have cast hyperutectic pistons. The only 4.6 to have forged pistons was the '03-'04 Cobras

They are not forged.

I can give you a great deal on a set of forged pistons, that will come with new rings, pins and locks.

PM me if you want a price.

Are the Mach 1 stock pistons pressed on or floaters?

I hope you also plan to replace the rods as they are not forged and are arguably a weaker link than the stock pistons.
