fun fact, you can fit 5 raptors inside 1 F1 engine bell.
F1 engine produced 690 tons of force at sealevel, whereas 5 of these raptors (if they all hit 269) would produce 1345 tons of force.
this means if you were to replace the 5 F1 engines under the saturn 5 with raptors filling the same amount of space under the rocket, the saturn 5's thrust would improve by 91% from 3518 tons to 6725 tons of force.
this is the power of modern rocketry, and that's not even with all the real-estate on the bottom covered, that's just the same amount of space the F1's were taking up.
