BowTie Girl: Here's a website for you to check with the charts on torque and horsepower as to different years of the 500/472 engines. You're right about this site, you can find a lot of information. And the drainage in the lifter valley wasn't a big deal in the earlier years because it was only paper thin casting that had to be knocked out or taken a die grinder to. In 1971, the horsepower dropped because of the piston change...went from 10 to 1 down to 8.5 to 1. And only 535 ft. lbs. of torque, and 365 horsepower..which my 1969 472 has 525 ft. lbs. of torque and 375 horsepower. So there isn't much difference. 1970 was the best year for the 500 by far.
