what concerns will I run into with my new motor?

I'm using a motown big bore block and building a 415ci 500hp SBC. What concerns will I run into? I'll be using an LT1 intake till I can afford DFI. I know that the chassis will need to stiffened and that the trans will not last, I'm just looking for the little things that people forget about. Thanks!

Its a 9 bolt and I'm not gonna run slicks so I think it might live. Also, its an 87 IROCZ that now has a 350TPI in case any one is wondering. Am I going to have any bolt up problems concering the different block?
