This is the Ford Racing crate motor site with the $9950 521 engines:

Ford Racing Performance Parts [Big Block Engines]

As to "what Ford HP motors are available after the 460", the 460 never came as a HP offering stock. While having huge potential and ability, most 460s were "Low Performance" pillow-barge motors, made to move 5000+ lb land yachts without turning more than 3500 rpm. PI versions had options more in line with increasing durability during extened idling at the donut shop.

"After the 460"...actually, the 460 was still around when Ford finally put some power back into the 302 (5.0 Mustang motors about the same net power as '60s Hi-po 289s) Turbo 4 cylinders don't count much, imo. Then there is the dohc 4.6 and 5.4. Supercharged, they are quite "Hi-po". The 5.4 in the Ford GT has been tweeked to 1000 hp with stock internals. I'd call that hi-po....

Ok, is that the road you wanted to go down?

Are you looking for more 460 info ( see prior post suggestion re 460.com) or other info?

Note the Ford racing site has the 302 & 351 motors, and a host of others as well.
