What is the "Best" engine is like saying what is the best fruit or type of wood yada yada?
But the small block chev would tick more boxes than any other engine ever built.I think the 100 millionth sbc was produce in 2012.
But I'm still a mopar small block guy!

Funny, I'd actually rank the SB Chevy as one of the worst V8's. They made so many cause they blew up all the time. I used to give 4 bolt main, forged crank 350's away. They'd only last 70,000 miles. Had two 350 blocks, one in each back corner, of my Dodge PU bed for traction in the winter time. They started filling the air cleaner with oil from the vent tube around 30,000 miles. You couldn't tune them since there was blowby and or leaking valves around the same 30,000 miles. Always had a real bad oil leak, I'm talking the whole engine compartment. They also always had an exhaust leak. I'd rather have almost any other V8 engine. AMC, Ford, Olds, Buick, and the top 8 motors would be MOPAR, maybe a 289 Ford K motor.
