engines from different eras
Hello. I am interested in buying an engine for my car. my question is: what is the difference between buying a, let's say 350, from 1969, than a 350 from a 1982 camaro? i hope my example works out with what i'm trying to ask.
i know that manufacturers peaked their engine performances around 1970, and from then on the engines were detuned. does this mean i should look for an engine that is from the high performance era for that particular enigne?
for another example, a 440 in a charger in 1968 would be considered a good performance engine. but does a 440 in a dodge van in late 70s or 80s have the same capabilities as a 440 from a charger in '68?
if this isn't a clear question i can help try to define what i'm trying to say. thanks.
