302 engine power

I have a 302 small block and am wanting to rebuild it. I would like to get about 500 horse out of it. I am already planing to buy a set of heads and a 347 stroker kit. I would like to know what kind of heads and cam I would need. I would love some info. I would be willing to put a super charger on it but only if needed. Nitrous is dead last in what I want. I want brute horsepower.

Its an 82 f-150 with a 302 and a 4 speed manual gear box and a 9in rear axle. It is a long bed reg cab. It also has a wrecker bumper so nobody gets in my way.

If it is a truck why not use a 351W? I believe they make a bunch more power for all the same upgrades. They can be stroked to 427CI. OH Yeah!! BigBlock Power in an aluminum headed Small block weight package. Mmmm - Dangerous.. Can't say I have done it. But I did Just build a Stock Stroke- aluminum headed 351W for around $5000. I hope it gets 400 +hp.
