You could make a case for a Sam being able to knock out any airplane. So why
build any at all?

Assuming B70's were built and upgraded umpteen times by now,
what do you think the results would be with a re-engine of the six pack with a
modern supercruise engine such as a F119?

Actually I'd be surprised if the F119 powered one wasn't *slower*.
The J93 was designed for Mach 3 and high altitudes. The F119 is not.
