The F-16 design may be 70's technology, but the insides of Block 50+ models are very 90's technology. The -229 engine is just awesome too! I'll bet the designers of the original YF-16 back in 1974 had no idea what the airplane would grow into!

The newer Block 60 being designed for the UAE will have conformal upper fuselage aux tanks, IRST (a la MiG-29), and built in laser.
