Urban Myths

JBurch, Sounds like a response to a comment I made in another thread.
And I agree with what your saying. F.I. Is not the sole reason but a contributor. I just named that one thing and figured the whole package would be considered.

Fuel injection, computer aided running excellence, modern liquids in the engine, superior parts in and on the engine, low stress/rpm running, etc...

Most everything is a teenie tiny move in the right direction and they all add up. So the newer engine is a better engine ether in a full package or just in a part, like a block to build.

I try not to complicate answers for forum members or write lengthy replies with tons of mathmatical equations and links to read. Sometimes, less is better. Starting in with specifics tends to leed to bickering and hair splitting with testimony of "Well I did it this way and your a idiot for NOT doing it this way, etc..."
Good post topic though!
