Default building 2000 5.9 V8 magnum

Hi I need some help/advice on what to get for my 5.9 V8 magnum or 360 engine from a 2000 dodge durango. The goal is to build a 500hp or more N/A engine or boosted engine. Thank you for any help.

Good luck with that...... At that power level, normally aspirated likely won't be streetable..... Better off building the motor with boost in mind, and go with some variety of forced induction.

You can talk to fastman if he is still around building mopar engines. He can build you a 500+ motor and still use it as a daily driver. To get it to 500hp, it will have to be stroked to 6.7 or higher if you plan to drive it as a daily vehicle.
