H/C/I with full exhaust. All component on serpentine belt changed to electric or removed. Forced induction with a good amount of boost (SC or turbo). High rated ignition components. Beefed up internals to accomodate the forced induction.
What am I missing?
If you want NA then overbore or larger stroke.

RE: what dose it take
h/c/i, full exhaust, good shot of n2o or good amount of boost
or h/c/i, full exhaust, stroke to 347, smaller shot of n2o or some boost
im making over 500hp at the crank on my 5.0 and im still running the stock cam so its possible. i could easily get to 500rwhp with an e-cam, 1.7rockers and a little more boost
pony guy is right about the money too

a dss racing block. www.dssracing.com you can get about 400-450 out of a 347 n/a motor with all smog legal parts (i live in cali). non-smog parts im sure 500 isnt too much harder. the trick is matching the parts. dont just go big. air flow research has probably the best bang for the buck heads you can get. www.airflowresearch.com. i wouldn't go with a ford racing cam. they are old school. comp cams have much better profiles that will allow for more horsepower over a broader range. aiming for 500 you'll want long tube headers with 1 3/4 primaries, and full 3 inch manderell bent exhaust. a good intake, im gonna use the new bbk unit and try that out. the cross flow pattern it uses is the same setup gm has on their corvette le mans cars. prolly a 75mm throttle body with an 80mm mas air sensor. a good tune. an aem stand alone would be great, but they are hard to tune, and expensive. so prolly just a good ship program. all your basic bolt ons that you can do. and dyno time. there are plenty more parts, but these are the main ones to get those numbers. dss blocks tho r stock, however they machine them and strengthen them to handle like 700 hp. plus the rotating assemblies are 3 lbs lighter than a stock 5.0, so the motor will be really snappy and responsive.

^ true a 351W would be a better platform to build from, and many parts match the 302W. H/C/I combo, stroker kit and either spray or s/c but not both. A stock 302 block will only handle 400 hp

also you cant forget about all the supporting mods for 500hp... upgraded suspension.. stronger tranny...also a stronger rearend would be a worthwhile investment... thats just the top of the mountain

500hp out of a 5.0=a 302 ci? not bored or stroked. h/c/i and 14psi will get you past 500. a stroker 5.0 like a 347 with a good h/c/i with 10psi will make somewhere around 550-600 to the ground. more boost means more power.
