Description

There's a 1969 small block out there right now with 400,000 miles on it and it's never seen the inside of a dealership. Meanwhile plenty of engines built in 2020 are lucky to see 150,000 before a warning light and a repair bill neither of you saw coming. That's not nostalgia — it's a trade manufacturers made on purpose, margin for wear traded for margin for efficiency, and almost nobody ever tells you it happened. Fifteen of those trade-offs, right here, starting now.
