So, so many. The GM 3800 was one of the best V6's to ever hit the ground (and many did hit the ground, thanks to GM "rust prevention"). And there's millions of them around. They have an obscene amount of torque for what they are, especially given the weight of the cars they generally wound up in. They really get up and move, though most cars they wound up in fell apart around the engine. The Honda B series takes ungodly amounts of abuse (see: every Integra with a lovely ebay turbo). The D series is a second runner up. The H series is great at power, but they always wind up burning oil. If you just want something that runs forever with only timing belts and oil changes and give zero fucks about power, the F series is king, and well known to make it to over 500k with the bare minimums. The Honda K series is drat good too, and has been proven to last forever with basic maintenance. Bonus for the K, no timing belt to deal with. The Toyota 1MZ-FE is a tank that handles anything from grandma driving to absurd amounts of boost without complaining (as long as you don't corner hard without a baffled oil pan), and it'll make it to well over 300k before it even starts to burn oil, with just timing belts and oil changes, no matter how much you beat on it. They leak oil like crazy, but that's just A Toyota Thing. GM's Ecotec line is hilariously underpowered in some variants (I'm looking at you, L61 2.2), but generally trouble free, very simple to work on, and just keeps running if you change the oil once or twice a year. Mine still uses barely measurable amounts of oil between 8k oil changes (about half a quart), with 110k on it (purchased with 66k 2 years ago, I think I've changed the oil 6 or 7 times now, though it's always seen synthetic since I've owned it). Ford's 302 can handle serious abuse, same with the 351W. I still believe that the old 302 can take a lot more abuse than the modern 4.6 and 5.4, even if the mod motors put out a bit more power stock. The old Mopar slant 6 was a tank. A hilariously underpowered tank, but still a tank. GM's LSx series has proven time and time again to be pretty much bulletproof, aside from the LS1. randomidiot fucked around with this message at 10:40 on Mar 2, 2015 |

The 5.3l ls motor (lm7 or whatever) out of pretty much every gm truck in the last decade gets my vote. It will withstand tons of punishment, can make stupid amounts of power fairly easily, has a huge wealth of knowledge about it out there, tons of aftermarket support and it just sounds pissed off when you put your foot down. Also, you can stick one in just about anything which is pretty awesome.

Nissan "L" series. Used as a 4 cylinder, 6 cylinder and successfully turbocharged and a reasonably decent diesel variant. Tough as hell, simple to work on and reasonably easy to make power out of.

Buell XBRR engine. This engine was created to push the limits of the (ancient) Harley Sportster tech. Unlike a typical Harley, it is heavily over square at 103.6mm bore x 79mm stroke. The 1339cc XBRR engine produces 150 hp crank hp.    Rocker box integrated with head  Tiny rods, large (1.5") crankpin  Double reed valve crankcase  Oil pump integrated into timing case cover:   Note - Also sounds cool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4LHnh1QEiA Giblet Plus! fucked around with this message at 05:46 on Mar 3, 2015 |

I always thought the OMC 4l 2 stroke V8 was pretty radical. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcO_2pLqYqw Also the Oval Piston Honda and the early tiny 6 cylinders Mike Hailwood rode. 6 cylinders, only 250cc. 18000RPM in 1966.

Saab B235. (Really the whole H engine family) I don't think its the best engine by any means, but between the electronic direct ignition, the early adoption of a small displacement turbocharged engine, and the blatant disregard for what GM wanted the company to do, it is to me the perfect symbol of everything Saab stood for and wanted automotive engineering to be. It is the noble ship that sailed them into the ground in the pursuit of excellence at the expense of the company's bottom line.
