what say you ???
I like 400 /389 Pontiac , Buick 455/350 , and Cleveland Fords...
True ,they are quirky..but hammer when done right...
Share your favorite. :)
 
Love dem Clevelands too. Slap a 4bbl on, Aussie heads, cam and headerz... game on!
 
I like International's 345 (and 304 & 392). Damn near indestuctable torgue monster.. Zero top end, but will get it done down low...
 
290, 343, 390, 401 AMC
Studebaker 289 supercharged
 
400 Ford (Don't call it a 400M....Ford didn't. Basically a tall deck stroked 351C)
FE Family 390, 410 (Mercury), 427 and 428's
385 Family 460 (a very overlooked engine)
87-93 5.0 Ford, just a fun engine with great reliability in a Mustang
 
My 87 Buick grand national has turbocharged 231cid v6, that regularly smoked pretty much anything of the same vintage, back when it was newer
 
Cosworth Vega I know, I know, it's a Vega, but it's a Cosworth
 
Mighty Fine 409

351 Cleveland

304 Jeep/AMC

Flathead Ford

Buick 231

Cadillac 500
 
327 chevy/350hp from factory,1964 vet motor in a 1964 impala, saw my uncle on column shift from 3rd to 2nd at 5000 rpm so he could .as he sad WIND HER UP,,i was waiting on pieces to go thru side of motor,but it held together, needless to say he had been putting away the budweisers.

The 327 small journal, do hammer... ask me how I know .. peak torque is around 5 k ,much less peak horsepower...
 
C'mon, someone mention the Northstar or the 4100 AL V8...no? Didnt think so.

I’ll probably get a lot of hate but I love the 03-04 32 valve 4.6.

390 hp from the factory and they can get real rowdy with a little xtra boost :)
