Good list, but yeah how to discern "great" = Most reliable? Most HP to CU? Most historical? Highest HP? Highest number produced? Best technology?

I thought several of the motors on the list seemed fitting, including the 3 mentioned above, VW air-cooled 4, Chrysler slant 6 and SBC. I'm not surprised by Honda vtec or a cummins being in the list or the flathead or hemi. I'm not that familiar with the Duese, but I have heard of the Ferrari Columbo V-12.
