So when redoing the internals of a manual mach1's engine must upgrade the crank or can you just do pistons and rods?

Rods and pistons will do. Your crank is fine as long as it is a 5 speed.:goodidea:

DO the machs have forged cranks or not?

5 speeds are forged, auto's are not

Must have been cheaper than designing a new 8 bolt flex plate

Didn't some 96-02 cobras have auto's? If so they could have used that flex plate. Also 99-00 GT's have 8 bolt flywheels they could have used those too. Who really knows why ford did that?
