There's no way to answer that except with "it depends" on how much $$ you got to spend. Browse the web and have a look at some crate engine packages to see what is possible and what it will cost.

More general and generally specific info:

https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/2...-new-here.html

Includes this link which has several stages of build listed.

460ford.com :: View topic - 460 Horsepower Chart (revised 6/28/08)

Note the comments about other mods to make the engine live past certain power levels. Also head and rods etc come into play too.

As indicated, depends on how much $$$ you want to spend.

Just wanted to give a shout out to all the people on this thread. It's nice
to read a Ford Thread without people bashing one another, using foul language,
Criticizing and saying something won't work without supportive "Hands On" info
outlining why.

Anyway, I enjoyed this thread.
