  Oh my....On page 32 of my clymerM447-2  There is an engine number list.
It is Showing 1985  KX500 B1   KX500BE000001- 001800
   So I'm Seeing your bike engine is #1048 of 1800 for 1985.

search for the ''whats the most power you've seen from a k5'' thread, second page.the guy is describing a modded 85,(the bits about bigger bearings refers to his mates  ex Thorpe engine) that with some love and porting apparently went rather well.Enjoy!K.
