A real 57 D500 engine will have an engine number like KD500 - nnnn (starting at 1001), e.g. KD500-12345. The engine number is stamped on the block onthe left side of the engine, top, just in front of the valley cover, near the water pump manifold and oil filler tube. Like this one:



The engine bay should look something like this:

There should also be signs that the trunk lid has (or had) a D500 badge like this:
