A turbocharged 460?
Eeeeee......... you sure you want to do that? Turbocharging is generally done on smaller, higher-rpm engines... a supercharger maybe for a 460 engine...
The Taurus SHO was fast for it's time 20 years ago but there are 4-cylinder engines out there today what with variable valve timing and whatnot that'll blow the thing away.

Some time you get a chance, there's a guy on YellowBullet has an 01 Cobra with a 466 and a single S475 turbo. Really mild setup, makes 675hp at the tire and I think it was over 800ft lbs on 8 psi lol. He's running E85 though, you guys are lucky there in the states, you can get that stuff lol.

E85 is about 105 octane
There's no surprise that you can make big numbers with a mildly blown big bore engine.
Watch the real time OBD2 data on a flexfuel vehicle running E85 sometime.
It is an education to see the trim and advance (even when the engine is not optimized for it)
I would love to see what the new Nissan variable compression engines could do with it.
