Default 500hp chassis mods

In order to run 500hp/tq without killing my stang, what should I be looking at buying/upgrading? I'll buy a set of weld-on subframes, maybe some rearend work is necessary? Any thoughts here

That would come in the form of a 351...I'm looking at driveline/other stuff that might need reinforcement

The rear end, rear control arms, driveshaft, clutch/torque converter, and transmission will all need attention to reliably hold that much power.
