    So,  ....  if a "standard" D500 is a 325 Hemi 4bbl, dual exhaust car
..... rated at 285 HP  (do I have that right ?)

  then what makes a 310 HP car ?  Is that what is referred to a D501 ?  ( or
is it D500-1?)  I thought the "500-1 cars were 354 dual quad Hemi cars using
what were essentially 300B engines.  Is that correct ?
