One of the greatest strengths of the 460 engine is its ability to be built to large displacements very easily. If making 600 horsepower is your goal 521, 531, 545, 557 cid would be the way to go.

you might want to find some 1986 or older heads.you can make 500hp with mostly stock parts and a good cam .the stroker kits give you more CI for more torque .check places that offer a street friendly rotating assembly .
