stock bottom end, hp capability?

i just recently bought a 69 lincoln 460, i plan on doing a rebuild. my question is what kind of horsepower am i capable of if i get the bottom end rebuilt back to stock and do my performance upgrades up top? this is a budget build. motor is going in a 75 f100 long bed. thanks

69-70 blocks will hold over 1000 hp.The stock rods seem to be the weak point,I would go aftermarket if I were planning on more than 500hp.Otherwise the stock shortblock should be just fine.

My favorite thing about 460's and most Fords for that matter is the 2 bolt mains. They hold up longer than any 4 bolt Chevy and you can throw alot of power at them before they give. Alot! All those pea brained chevy goofs that can't get over that crack me up.
