Of the 10, two are 6 cylinder gas engines so the survey respondents were not totally biased against smaller engines. Since each respondent used their own criteria, I’ll throw in my own and question leaving off the Jeep 258 c.i. 6-cylinder and the Toyota 22R 4-cylinder, simply for utility and durability.

I agree with the Jeep six and add the jeep four used in the military jeeps for the same reason. I would also include the two stroke Detroits as well

Great engine, nothing exciting but ran forever with routine maintenance and ran well.

Thank you for referencing the Toyota 22R.

I am not a gearhead, but I have many many memories of that engine, most of them fond.

I drove my 1987 Toyota from San Fran to Oregon and back with a blown out radiator. I packed snow around the parts that seemed important.
