500 HP is a BIG goal. I hope your going with an aftermarket block and forged internals...
You already have SFC's which is a good start. But you will need much more. You will want to get adjustable control arms, adjustable shocks/struts, better springs, an airbag for the rear passenger side...

cool thanks i built a 427 based 351 fogger system with a 300 shot 950 carb am i too high on my goals of 500 without the fogger
Ok, well out of a 427 small block, you shouldn't have any problems making 500 HP.
I thought you were talking about a 302 based motor...

Hey Reggie, do you see anything I missed with the suspension?

The stock Ford blocks are pretty weak in the lifter valley area. Once you're making over 400HP they will almost certainly crack right down the middle. The block is the weak spot. A girdle might keep the crank and journals together, but expect that lifter valley to become a lifter canyon if you're going to be pushing out 500 ponies.

unless there was some serious machine work to ensure the installation of the girdle it will be virtually useless......
For what you are considering an aftermarket block (IE Dart) is a requirement.....

I really doubt that ANY "girdle" that you put on that block will keep it from breaking. The stock iron blocks can only handle so much and once you get past that limit you're asking for trouble. The girdles might hold it together for a little while, but they're not going to keep that thing together for long.
When you're making as much power as you're talking about you can't take shortcuts. The best thing for you to do is to get an aftermarket block. I'm really not trying to be rude here, but if you don't get a block that is MADE to handle that kind of power you're going to spend more money in the long run.

ive seen the lifter valley's welded with few strips of hardened steel with a girdle and cosistantly make passes with 700 hp so that may be an option if you can find a good welder

Good to know...
Hell, it's his motor, he can run 1000HP out of that stock block. If it works then awesome, but don't say i didn't warn ya.
