I think thats it's net HP which would be at the rear wheels. I'd bet it has 100 more in torque.

460 potential? Theres lots! A little machine work to the heads would be easy to do and make a huge difference. But Im not so sure if the F-100 was available with a 460 from the factory. You might wanna get some casting numbers off the engine and ask some of the guys in the 460 room what they recomend.

It will be low.

History of 302.

http://www.classiccar.com/articles/c...rd-Engine.html

The 351M put out 148 Hp
and the
400 put out 160 HP

The 302 will be less than the 351M.

Not sure, but I felt confident enough to post it, so I want to say I read that somewhere....
