Block strength?

Block strength?
So I was flippin through some of my mustang mags and I saw a bunch of 4.6 powered cars that had in excess of 600whp. So my question is how much HP can a stock 4.6 block take? i was thinkin I might build one if they handle way more power than a stock block 302.
Thanx,
-P.
PS: Does anyone know of a carb intake for the 4.6?

302's are iron also, but they come apart @ 500hp. I was just wondering if people that were gettin those HP #'s were using a factory block or an aftermarket block. I was thinkin it would be really cool to make a 600hp carbuerated 4.6 . It would be VERY different thats for sure. Thanx for your reply at any rate.

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.
