dc8 and 707 crosswind with cfm

When many of the dc8 and Boeing 707 were reengined with cfm 56 engines,in the late eightees and early ninetees,did it effect the crosswind limit.I belive both could be landed in crab,but the bank angle margins before you are having a pod strike seems very narrow.I remember when I was in millitary,I think it was wery fun to watch the awacs 707 do crosswind landings,not to mention the KC135.So if there are any old 707 or dc8 drivers out there,please comment
