whats your favorite engine of all time?

[gunman_sr5]

OK I may hate Chevy but the LSX is one hell of a motor.

The old Ford Windsor motors are nice to, but way outdated.

Ecoboost is pure win, but there is more coming from Ford that will bump this.

[JohnZX2]

1.8L Mazda BP.

Yeah, I forgot about that one.

Years mean nothing when talking about motor age. 40 years with 350K miles or 40 years with 85K miles.

Its pretty amazing when you think about it. Age is a huge problem with cars. The more miles actually the better based on it's run more often. Think about valve springs. They get weak as time goes on and can give you huge problems. Rings may not seat as well with age too. Electrolysis can happen in the block over time causing metal to fall apart(seen it on many engines). It just shows you on how great of a job they did with building it. No problem's or nothing really.

Again i didn't crap on your parade. I just said it was my favorite motor and going for 40 years strong.

i love the 426 hemi for alot of the things it has done, but, still prefer the 318. the only problem i have seen with 318s is that if you take it easy on them, they dont last, but, if you drive them like you stole them they run forever. this is on the later mfi models. another engine ford done awsomely was the ol 300 inline 6 too.....that motor could pull anything and would never brake down. they quite building that one cause it was so reliable they couldnt sell parts.....lol

[chasingsafety]

Had a 318 that caught fire, extenguished, re-wired, ran for another 100,000kilo's lol

My favourite so far would have to be the 3S-GE from 88 celica GTS. 355,000 kilo's on the stock timing belt and waterpump, ohya

[Larka]

non- car- GE F414 from the F-18 Hornet. Cause I love they way they sound.

car-
2.0 Zetec
Mercedes V12

rb26dett and sr20det... id like to have a nissan soon

[CSCustomCars]

It's a tie:

GM's 2.4L Twin Cam - Cause it was in my first love (My Sunfire) and even though everybody says they have problems with the, I NEVER had a single issue with mine, for all 150k miles that was on her. She was a beast of a 4 cylinder and I just LOVE the 2.4's

Second is the 5.9L Cummins 12 Valve because they are just the perfect blank slate and are a powerhouse waiting to be unleashed. Okay, maybe just Diesels in general... Torque baby, nothing but torque.

[2000ZxT]

Not my favorite of all time but at the moment. 3.0 Duratec mated to mtx75 with custom y pipe. All aluminum engine, iirc weighs about 75lbs more than the zetec.

[sciko67]

Dodge Viper V10 for its size and tunablity. 8.4 L, which, to my knowledge, is the biggest engine in a current production car. Hennessey has it at 1200 HP street legal last time I heard.

As powders mentioned, the Bugatti Veyron 16.4. 8L 16 cylinder, 4 turbo, 1001 Hp, 997 Ft/lb.

And last but not least, the 7.3L V12 Mecedes benz engine Found in Paganis. Why? Because of this sound: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6NIsizLGlQ

[avarageerod]

For me, the Ford FE 390 and a Mopar 440. I like big blocks.
