My favorite engine is not a stock engine, but a modified one. It would be a 383 Stroker. I love the power (torque) at low rpms, and yet, it has screaming power at 4000 RPM. I am in the process of rebuilding a 350cid 1992 Camaro Tuned Port Injection into a 383 stroker for my Jeep.

Well I am lady but I like my Dodge with Hemi. lol
 
350 chevy smallblock w/ 4 bolts. Cheap to repair, tons of parts to add to it and upgrade, easy to work with, gas efficient and can actually pump out some nice hp if you rig it up good.
 
A Pontiac 400 cube engine (6.6 litres). Tremendous torque esp when connected to a Turbo 400 tranny. I had that in a 1977 Pontiac Grand Prix and boy that was one wicked engine for me personally.

Another fave is the Ford 2.0 Zetec twin-cam 16v 4 banger motor in my ZX2 Escort. 6 years, 138k miles and still going as strong as a Toyota motor.

One engine I consider a headache to do maintenance on it happens to be the 2.3 Twin-Spark 4 banger engine that was in my old 1994 Ford Ranger truck. 4 cylinders great but EIGHT sparkplugs to change, my ass. Esp the middle four plugs are hard to reach cuz of the damned EFI manifold.

I used to have 76 Grand Prix with 400 .030 Bored over.. was restoring it but came up without money and was in tech school that time- 1993 and sold it for 1,000.. i think that car is the best i ever had other than my "JunkPile" 1969 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight
