You have to add the better density of the blocks of todays blocks, iron and aluminum.

I would be very curious, with a comparison of sonic testing.
Thicker and stronger bores.
The high tech machining tools used today for instance, the line boring for the crank, cam and cylinders.
Better materials for even the bearings.

Yeah, the good old days of higher octane !
I built a Pro-Street Camaro many years ago, and bought aviation fuel for, if I can remember, like $1.75 per gallon.

We need to get Keith on this thread ! Keith (the man) Craft.....where are you bud ?
