The 74 parts car I have has 16,000 original miles on it and the redneck that had it before me yanked the 472 out of it to put in a camaro to go drag racing. 3 weeks later he blew the motor.

A 500 is worth about $500 generally if it is a nonsmog motor. Realistically though, I don't know why everyone gets so wet over a motor with the compression of a 500. The 69-71 472s actually have an ass ton more power, but people just read the numbers and go nuts over the 500.

Considering that no-smog motor was only made in 1970, and only for the Eldo, I wouldn't let one go for less than a grand. Any other 500, I would sell for $500.
If I were the buyer, I would go through the engine before I installed it, but that's only because I don't enjoy installing engines, and I don't normally do it more than once. Any used engine is a core, to me.
I'm also very fond of 425 lower pulleys when I'm installing a $500 500, so if you're junking a 425, be sure to grab the pulley and timing pointer for me.

Cadillac Performance Parts has a build on the 500 that is a 10.0:1 compression 0.030 over with forged pistons N/A. they port the stock iron heads and run a comp cam 232.236 degrees of duration at 0.050 and .550 inch valve lift. the end result is a 500Hp/600 Lb of torque. The part i love is the motor puts out 500 torque at 1,800 rpm. One day I'd like to get my hands on a caddy 500.
