RE: 10K what mods?
Hehehe, thanks nanners, means a lot 
ANyways, yes, nanaki's car is teh sleeperage tot he max. and MAN does that thing pull. My next fun car will be blown for sure. I'm surprised you advised he go with the juice? Anyways, here's what I would do (learn from my mistakes):
Two options:
Get a cheap used 4.6L block...mileage is not an issue. Find yourself a local machine shop that does autmotive work and has a good reputation. Get yourself a crank from a cobra (they come stock forged in some years) forged rods, and forged, dished/notched pistons. This will keep your compression low and allow you to run a lot of BOOST. Find a used supercharger somewhere (There's one for sale in the local club, vortech, custom intercooler, etc for like $1,800).
Granted, this is going to be VERY close to your 10k total and you'll still have work to do. 500rwhp will absolutely destroy your stock axles/t-45, but if you abby it you might be ok for a while.
Option #2 (more custom)
Buy a cheap 351w block...they can be had from just abotu anything, but mid-90's F-150's/250's with a ROLLER camshaft can be had cheap. Flat tappet is going to be the older ones, not what you want. Buy a tubular crossmember with 5.0 mounting points (summit sells them for $300 or so). Drop in a forged 408 sstroker kit (can be had for $1,000 + install) and slap nitrous/blower on it if you like. Strap on a C4 (those things are bullet proof when built right) and be done with it.
