Take a look here to get started.

I also suggest filling out a profile for your car so everyone can see where you are at currently and what you need to get where you want.

@jdnxc started documenting his brothers swap on youtube. Looks real easy from what he has documented so far.

I will add some things. Repair the vehicle and make sure it is safe to be driven and fully functioning. Things I am talking about are tire, brakes, suspension and general maintenance, such as timing belt and leaks. Think twice about your goals as 500hp is a lot so with that in mind buy parts that you won't have to replace down the road, common sense. If you wish to do awd swap then maybe that should be your first mod.

My advice is if you plan on 500hp then build it for 700hp. Give yourself room to grow. I originally only wanted 400hp and now I'm close to 700. But I over built it so I didn't have to do it twice.
