Man I have to give it up to GM on the 3.8L. These engines kick ass. Why does fords v6 of the time suck?

So with that said which engine is the best ever made?

Booted for being a drama queen.

PS- We ######HATE###### e-thugs incapable of using proper English. It's a shame to live in this country, be given opportunities others die for every day, and waste it. Basic education, it's free in America. Break the family tradition and get "sum".

the forged roller 5.0 motor definaltey belongs somwher on that list,

i think the orgi 289 that came in the 65 mustangs
were pretty much bullet proof.

diesels are impressive nowadays.. u got people in huge lifted trucks running with sports cars in the 1/4..

and the 426 hemi?

As in Best do you mean power or reliability?

for power, the old pushrod motors fall low on the list in terms of hp per cubic inch. DOHC rape OVH engines

Ford has had many good v6's 2.8 3.0 4.0 4.2..... And the new one in the mustang is impressive for a v6 and in the f150 they have the ecco boost v6.... Don't forget the legendary inline 4.9 300.

I'm a big fan of the 460 too I have had several and they are bulletproof

Id have to go with the Chevy 4.8. I see so many of these early 2000 silverado/suburbans/tahoes come into work with almost 300k miles and they still run like a champ. If I were to pick something else.. the chevy LS and ford 302s

I think all around engines Would be the Jeep 4.0, Toyota r22 and Ford straight six 4.0. To think about mostly any straight engine has been good. And now diesel engines are another beast

honestly and I know we ALL HATE to admit it but if this was a magazine question or just a general question the answer is the small block chevy.

350.
