I try
So... bump compression to 10.something to 1, nice intake, more lift say .650? and more duration. Then hope it holds together past 6k! And if you break it so what its only metal not like it has feelings.

There's an awful lot of BS in this thread, getting kinda deep in here. There are naturally aspirated bigblocks putting out this kind of power all over the place. 700 horses out of a 500cid mill is not radical. It's about 1.5 horses per cube, which translated into smallblock numbers is around 500 horses out of a 350. Proper machine work and balancing, great port and chamber work on a good set of heads, the proper camshaft, the right induction setup, and you're there. Oh, and you don't need a blower or turbo either. Pay to play is the name of the game. How fa$t do you want to go? http://vortecpro454.com/#xl_xr_page_engines
No one said there weren't NA bbc's that will reach 700+ hp.
The OP asked what it would take to get a 502 crate engine to 700 hp. The answers have ranged from forced induction to custom build, all of which have touched on the fact that it would take a large sum of money.
I hope you are not referring to me, I do my research to back my statements. I rather go naturally aspirated, engines generally last longer that way. But getting the power you want for naturally aspirated sometimes requires some cash unless you are lucky to get the parts used. Sometimes the cheapest way is boost. Unless you go wild with it then you will be spending the money for a good bottom end to support the boosted application.There's an awful lot of BS in this thread, getting kinda deep in here.

Thanks for trolling my post. Very useful information. It's all so clear to me now.
