What’s Your Favorite Engine?

Everyone’s got a particular powerplant that’s their personal favorite, whether it be for horsepower, torque, durability, versatility or whatever else. I’m not asking for your favorite configuration (V12, V8, V6, Inline 6, 4 cylinder, etc)–I’m asking for a specific engine, manufacturer and displacement.

Personally I’m a V8 person but I can’t pick just one–my three, I have 3 favorites which are all Chevys. My favorite modern powerplant has to be the supercharged 6.2 Liter LS9 out of the Corvette C6 ZR1, though the 7.0 Liter LS7 out of the Corvette C6 Z06 is a close second. My favorite small block V8 would have to be the old standby 350 c.i. because it’s so versatile and there’s so much out there to make it even better especially when it’s turned into a 383 stroker. And my favorite Chevy big block V8 has to be the 572 c.i. crate engine.
