You also want to start out with a sound engine. I would do a compression test first and see how even all the cylinders are. If that looks ok I would start with the intake and carb setup Mooneye suggested, and headers too. Generally, the better known brands of headers are worth a few extra bucks. They cost more because they are made from heavier tubing, are tuned better, and fit much better. I have had headers over the years that take a lot of tweaking to get them installed.

From the headers I would run a couple of turbo mufflers or Flowmasters, with a Y pipe between the two pipes before the mufflers. Lastly, I would maybe install a good ignition system and do a basic tune up with better wires and new plugs. The 460 engines respond pretty well to minor hop up parts like mentioned above.

Oh, and welcome to our little group.
