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.

I thought they changed to rear wheel about 78....
Not sure, but I felt confident enough to post it, so I want to say I read that somewhere....
