A fairly comprehensive 2 page PDF ID guide with pictures can be found here (mostly about the 472/500 stuff): http://www.cad500parts.com/tech/EngineIDPages.pdf. For Quick ID - on the second page, there is a box shape shown on the rear of the '77-later blocks to ID the smaller engines. Distinguishing a '70-newer 472 from a 500 can only be done by crank number, stroke, or piston design, as all other parts are the same.
