Can you define "a lot of cash"? HP costs money. Everybody knows that. So the question you have to ask yourself is how much power can I afford? If you are expecting someone to tell you that you can suck 500 HP out of a 460 for $100, you might as well keep the hood shut. Even though they are big and scary, all recent 460's are just high torque smog motors. They CAN make a whooooole lot of power, but 460 parts are expensive.

What year is the 460 and what is it in? I'd think that would make a lot of difference as to what you can do with it.

Re-post this in the 460 section.

You should get more responses there.

Both reponses you have had here are on the money though.

All depends on how much you want to spend. I would suggest as a start: Holley 750cfm vacuum secondary, Edelbrock Performer RPM intake, headers of your choice, and dual exhaust. That should wake it up!

Well the engine is a 77' so it doesnt have the polution controll, its going in a 41' Ford sedan, we have headers for it and an aluminum edelbrock intake.

Im not sure how much money we are gunna spend on it because my dad can never make up his mind and set it to one thing.
