Got a 460 what do I do?

I have recently perchased a 73 460 and I was wondering what would be some good ways to build it for plenty of horse power maybe (400-600hp) I have an 82 3/4 ton and want to build this motor so I can have lots of power. the truck will have suspension lift and 35-38inch tires.Just looking for some good ideas.let me know! thanx

Depends alot on your wallet. But definetly go with a aftermarket cam, aluminum intake (weiands are nice), headers. If you can afford it some aluminum heads, cobrajets, bluethunder, TF are all available. And offer alot more performance versus the factory iron castings, but you will be paying about 2k for a set assembled.

The if you have more money left there are always the stroker kits available.
