New used truck

Hey guys just looking for some input. I am looking at buying a 89 F350 dually with a built 460. The truck is a crew cab 2wd with an auto. I was looking for info on what the specs are on this truck stock? towing, hp rating, etc. Also the engine is supposed to be built by a performance shop and is bored .40 over with racing pistons, mds ignition, k&n intake, b&k throttle body, towing cam, 4in exhaust with hooker headers. That is the info I have at this time. The truck is supposed to be extremely nice and well taken care of so I will be going to check it out this week. Based off of what info I gave is there anything I should be looking out for on this? Or is this engine pretty solid stock or when built? Don't know alot on the 460 so any info will help. Thanks

The KN intake is not going to help it at all. Its actually a hot air intake. I had one and can tell you that its worthless junk. The stock intake is superior and actually gets cooler outside air.

A stock 460 is a really strong engine. I have no idea whats been done to the one they built for it.
