Pretty much all of those are high torque low HP engines built to move land barges. None of them have real potential for HP without a good amount of work. With a good cam, intake, headers and some good tuning on a Holley the best I've heard on the 500 was around 400hp. Spend a lot more and you can get more HP but by then you have replaced pretty much everything but the block.

Most of the parts work on all of the big Cad engines 368, 425, 472, 500 but none of them live long past about 4,500-5,000 RPMs without adding big money.
