460 build simplified....

I'm going to have my 76 460 w/D3VE re built in the fall. Nothing fancy, just a refresh. I'm going to swap the timing set, new Edelbrock Intake, Edelbrock 600 cfm w/elec choke and Jegs distributor. I dont comprehend all the technical specs but what should I expect to see for HP and torque from a refreshed stock motor??

Here's a 460 cook book. Since you aren't changing compression or cam, it's hard to make a prediction on power gains. A little, maybe enough to notice. If you are changing pistons and all the bearings, consider a little more compression and a more aggressive cam.

Now that time has passed, ive learned a LOT more about this truck, and changed my direction (more than once)!!!! Ive decided to change motor builders based on a recommendation from some local guys. I spoke with the new builder earlier this week and we discussed more options/ideas/possibilities than the previous guy did in 4 months!!!! Using the above mentioned, cook book, we are going to shoot for the 400 HP recipe. However, I do have a question for those of you that have the knowledge.... I'm going to use this setup https://www.summitracing.com/parts/e...view/make/ford will it meet or surpass the intake and carb recommendation in the cook book??
