500-600 is do-able on an older block....60's or 70's...because of the thicker castings. I wouldn't see any harm in it as long as you had 4-bolt mains or used a good girdle....I have 500 hp in mine...it's a 79 351W block....got a girdle on it.

With that much hp on an N20 setup, however, I would really think about o-ringing the heads....and definitely use some good rods and non-cheapo pistons....
