It is a 460 cubic inch engine, made by Ford. It will be put into a 1994 Mustang and I want to know how much horsepower the car will have. It is a rebuilt engine so I do not know the year as I rebuilt it with just the block.

If it's the Lincoln 460-4V with 10.5:1 compression it's stock numbers are 365bhp@4,600 RPM & 500 lb./ft. of torque@2,800 RPM.
Better beef up the front suspension that things gonna be a lot heavier than what your replacing.

I agree with wrench'n . Problem is that your question is way too vague. But being as you don't know much about the engine you just rebuilt, you mustn't hang with a bunch of gear heads. So if you took it to one of them, they might be able to tell you what they all did or didn't do to it. If you were smart, and I bet you were, you took it to someone who knows more than you and is a professional. He can tell you what you need to know. I also hope that the car you put it in can handle it. I mean the extra weight, the suspension will be huffing and puffing. The tiny rear end will be screaming, 'HELP'. Problem is, people, not just kids, tend to throw everything together and hope for the best. I have seen a lot of cars done wrong in my life, and I wonder why these people don't just open their wallet on a windy day and let their money just float away. The other thing I wonder is why they don't take a little time, do the research, read, etc and do things right. I don't have an answer, as your question has too many variables. If you did it to stock specs, you'd be money ahead with a small block. If you want quick throttle, better handling, less weight in the front, go with a small block. You probably won't have to modify so much, you won't be in the overkill stage. Leave the big guns to the pros.

A stock 460, would be around 275hp, depending on the year and emissions level.
With minor head work, and 0.040 overbore and a good cam along with a dual plane intake , should be around 400hp. The motor will fit in your car but has to be moved 2 inchs forward. You Have to use a C-6 Trans or large bell housing C-4
Good luck! (the mustang man)

Your adding a ton of weight in the wrong place. Its going to handle like a dog, and in the end probably kill you. Your affecting the overall center-of-mass (or CM) putting it way forward. Its going to under steer and become unstable at high speed.
For best overall performance, you could stick with the manufacturers calculations and keep the same overall configuration as others have suggested, Then you can do many things to boost performance.
Don't forget, that if you boost HP, you also have to upgrade the suspension and transmission. In fact you have to put as much money into the suspension and transmission as the motor. Split you budget 50/50.
STAY ALIVE MAN!

well it would help if there was more info on the moter as for the ford 460 it would depond on what block,bore,camshaft,etc anand aorund what year and materials but a good 460 should be any were from 300 to400-450 but if you got some good aftermarket parts youcould get it up around on a good combination700-750 or more
if your interested in some crate moters i sugesst the below link

Not enuf info but here's the one I had in a '66 Fairlane.
9.9 to 1 forged flattops, hi-flow, large valve aluminum
heads (CJ style sold by Ford), a mild cam, full-length
headers, 780 cfm Holley, Mallory Unilite, fully rollerized
rockers, dual-plane manifold. Computer simulation
showed 494 HP @ 5200 rpm. These simulation programs
are quite accurate.

you planning on beefing up the front end to support the weight difference, also the rear end will need changing. you get down on it the first time. youre going to tear everything out from under it. you just dont drop a big block down into a small car. it takes alot of other things to do. its not worth the trouble, you can take the motor that is in it. and build the hell out of it.and get alot more out of it than you would with the 460.

the only way to know the horspower on it is to have it dyno tested. and I doubt very much that engine will fit in a 1994 mustang, block will be to long for the engine compartment, and the regular mustang transmission won't be able to handle the engine.

Will that even fit under the hood of a SN-95 Mustang? And even with custom fabrications, you will have a hell of a time with this project. I hope you know what kind of transmission will fit with this, because I'm sure the tremec in there won't.

Even with paragraphs of info, any HP estimate would just be a guess. The only clue you give is the displacement, which is only one factor of about a dozen needed for your answer. Why do you care? What are you going to compare it to? Do you seriously expect the rest of the car to withstand this engine?
Give me a break...........!
