hey guys im new here but not to stangs. i am currently looking to build a 500hp motor. the problem is i am new to building them....usaully just work on my motor not build a new one, i have asked a few people and gotten no response so i came to the experts...here is what i got and im looking for some help with what i need to push out 500hp.

trick flow upper and lower
edelbrock 70mm tb
crane rr's
cai
bbk headers and exhaust
44 series flowmaters
crane ignition
30lb injectors with calibrated air flow
custom ground cam with .595 lift
march underdrive pullys
a/c and smog delete

351 or aftermarket block if you only want to build it once...stock block at 500hp it is a question of when, not if.
