Not sure about the stock block, but the VT Engines Forged Shortblock I got can handle up to 700hp.

I believe Edlebrock has a carbureted version intake coming out also. I know they're working on a new modular intake for the 4.6 though. Victor Jr. SOHC 4.6 intake.
VT uses stock blocks for their shortblock builds.

Well I have a shortblock for sale if interested. It's a 4.6l Windsor block off my 2000 GT. Great block for a rebuild.
