A whole lot more interesting than Ward's.
Have at it

I’ve had several Fords with 302’s that I’d rather they’d have been 351W’s. Or Clevelands. But the Windsors were 302-size blocks, and runnin’ MF-ers. Whine...

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.

GM LS1, hell yeah.
Mine still runs like new, with enough miles to go to the moon.

(#7): Cummins 5.9L I6 Turbo Diesel
Engine would still be purring but Dodge truck would be completely falling apart around it after 300k. Owned several of the 24 valve.
If the battery was good, the engine would start, period.

I have Chev 350s in my 57 Bel Air and 67 Camaro. Have an extra 305 and 327 as backup. Most parts interchangeable and cheap. Amazing amount of difference in performance depending on how you set them up. My Camaro is now wound up tight and a lot of fun.

I bought a new 72 Nova when I came back from overseas.
Stripped down 2 door - had a 3 speed on the floor and a 350 engine. It had some muscle for a $2700 factory model....

Chrysler 440, the staple of cop cars for years.
Hard to argue with the 350 Chevy as #1.
I also loved the 225 slant six. Great little workhorse with surprising power for a small engine. Owned a few Darts and Lancers back in the day.

The 225 slant 6 was nearly indestructible. The Ford 300 straight six was amazingly durable, too.

I have three e28 BMW 535i cars with nearly 250k miles on each.
They are still going strong and passing the California smog test.
This is the best engine ever in my opinion.

I guess if you stick to “car’ engines. RR Merlin needs to be on a list of “best”.

Numerous Slant-Sixes (Darts) and a fantastic LT1 350 (’94 Caprice).
This is a good list.

Are many of you aware of how “2” crazy Ford was? That is many engines displacement ended in a “2”:
272, 292 (my favorite), 302, 312, 352, 332 & 402.
