There is one 455 that is making about 890 horsepower, don't know how long it will live though.
This of course was a high dollar build, general consensus seems to be that the block is pretty safe up to about 600 HP, any more than that requires quite a few strength modifications.
It should be noted that I don't have experience with any of these types of builds, I am quoting what I have read and learned from Olds engine builders.
