Best engines in my opinion....

-Porsche 911 flat 6, what needs to be said?

-Dodge Slant Six. Those Dodge Darts ran FOREVER

-Honda VTEC I-4, I am continually amazed at what you can do with these motors

-BMW M10 4 Cyl. strong little motor. I got over 400K on one

-Chevy small block V-8 283-400, The fact that the basic design still survives from the 1950's is a testament to it's durability.

-Mazda 13B rotary (RX-7), amazing the kind of power you get from this tiny little thing

-Briggs and Stratton 5HP edger motor, lol, I built so many minibikes and go-karts using this lawnmower engine.

-Rolls-Royce Merlin (P-51 Mustang) 1280 HP 12 Cyl. Supercharged

-Pratt and Whitney J58 (Lockheed SR-71) 30,000lbs thrust (probably more but classified)

-Rocketdyne F-1 (Saturn V rocket) most powerful engine ever built, 1.8 million pounds of thrust. And the Saturn V had 5 of them!
