Well, FE's have been modernized as well. CSX/Pond/Genesis blocks, Edelbrock/BT/CSX heads, Weber-ish looking EFI, Erson/T&D/Jessel roller rocker arms, H-beam connecting rods, the list goes on and on.

Other modern items such as Wilwood versus Girling brakes, the CSX/Kirkham bodies are made with thicker (0.050" vs. 0.059") aluminum, etc. But that's what makes all of us different buyers for different cars.
