Mike , Really nice job on the "Singing 5" , how about that last pic of the motor, how the years have changed but somethings still remain the same.
Like the 4 bladed fan, still run a 4 blade fan today but it is plastic for weight
No fuel log for me but know some who still do
The Vertex Magneto , got one just like that one in the pic and is bolted on the Sprinter.
No upper Radiator hose but run 2 smaller hoses off the intake, about the same thing.
I guess those were the swept foward type headers back then and they run'em today , especially in the ASCS injected stuff and I run those long type header extensions just like in the pic, suppose to give you more torque or so the Dyno folks say.
How about the technology advancement in Hood Fasteners, now there is a break through, gone are the wire and Hairpin combo and has been replaced with the 1/4 turn ligthened Dzus Fastener.
Now that Rear Bumper could take a shot and still be there, those made today , some fold up like a Wal Mart made Lawn Chair., but it is all about weight today.
