roller cam when all they had was roller rockers
pop up pistons
hi po rods
hi po crank
race fuel
race gears
ported and polished
etc...

But my all time favorite was the "Balanced and Blue Printed Engine". Every kid in town had a "Balanced and Blue Printed Engine"
You forgot the one thing that every car with a V8 in my high school parking lot had (according to the owner anyway) - a 4 bolt main! Good thing too, those bone stock 200 hp 350s wouldn't live with just a 2 bolt block after all ha ha
