The YX code made in 1971/72 was a "400" engine(automatic).
265hp 8.2:1 comp 2bbl. If you think you have a 455 and you've misread the code,check drivers side of engine and look for 455, it will be legible.Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

I had a 1974 455 YX code 455, it had 4X-1H heads on it. The 1H appears on a squared off cast-in hump on the exhaust side of the head near the valve cover land area. There should be 2 of these cast in humps on each head, approx. located between the center and end exhaust ports on each side. Look at the head so you are looking at the exhaust port exits, than look at the fase of the squared off humps I described above, on one of them you should see a little punch type stamp of a number and letter.
Like I said mine was 1H Hope this helps, Mark
