Take 1970 era 440 and trans/rear end and put it in a new charger. and vise versa... and lets see which one smokes the other!!The 2023 Charger Hellcat has 797 HP.
It eould absolutely grenade the entire drive train of a 70s Mopar.

horsepower is rated different today than yesterday. I do not believe that 797 would be 797 with yesterdays calculations. cars dont even weigh half of what they used to so If I was to guess, id say that 797 would not blow up yesteryear's drive trains!!
I truly dont know how the ratings have changed, but I do know for a fact they have strictly due to the lighter frames and body's of modern cars.

in addition, I’d bet the torque of the old bore and stroke engines would indeed smash todays high RPM based transmissions...

Absolutely! A new F150 crew cab with a 3.5 V6 turbo runs almost the exact same quarter mile time as a Boss 302 Mustang in 1970.
