What induction are you going with? 500+ should not be a problem but it may be a handfull to drive in town. My 482 is supposed to be 700+ hp and it gets interesting with a stick shift.

Also with enough cam you can get away with more static compression. Goes back to what you want to deal with and how the truck will be used. My 482 is Naturally aspirated.

I'm a complete newbie on engine builds but I've read here the stock crank can handle like 700-800hp or something like that. If you're on a budget I would at least try a search.
Good luck and keep us posted, would like to hear how it turns out.

Why don't you keep the stock crank and just get pistons & rods? I mean if the stocker is in good condition.
