AND  in the 60's -70's  shops did  work on all three....but then we had 
"mechanics"  who didn't  specialize.....and could build ANY  engine just fine....

You've got to remember these were the days when  everything was so 
similar....you didn't need a manual!  Engine assemblers were paid  VW  $25;  Porsche 4  
$35;    Vair  $45  to assemble a rebuilt engine..that was guarranteed [ not 
warranteed / sheisters way of getting out of most problems]  for 20,000 
miles...no time limits...
