Here's one that was going to be setup for sled pulling.

Another tid bit I remembered lastnite... A sled puller guy told me you can rev these up to 4500 on stock internals. As long as it has heavier valve springs & the setup to do it. Dont know of any other big diesel engine, besides the Cummins B or a DT360, that you can rev up that high.

That is crazy high for a big diesel! Any guess as to what would be reasonable HP/Torque numbers to make the motor wicked but still daily driver reliable? Like I said earlier, bombed, but not too crazy.

I'd say 4-500hp would do some damage, and not fog out the neighborhood. Just a guesstimate on tork here, but I'd say 12-1300 pounds. That is high for a large diesel, but the guy that helped design the 466 way back when was an avid sled puller. He happens to run(I think he owns it) a place called Hypermax, most Ford guys know the company.
