Favorite Engines
What's everyone's favorite engines. Mine are:
Gas burner: FE Ford - plenty of power, never heard one with a bad exhaust note, and somewhat decent economy for what they are
Diesel Burner: It's a tie between the old Detriots and an N-14 Cummins (for big trucks). The Detroits just sound cool. In pickups I'm going with the 5.9 Cummins.

hmmm... let me think about this a little bit...
ok, gas burner, for now the best i've had is my 300 I6. torquey engine, even at stock, plenty of aftermarket parts for it, and can be built to do things that most V8's can do, and at 2 less cylinders mind you! other than that (for gassers) i'd pick the 460. sure it's a fish, but u never feel the load behind you, no matter how big it is...
for diesels, i'm gonna go w/ the cummins 5.9 12 valve. wat can i say? i'm a sucker for 6 cylinders! next up after that is the 7.3 stroker!
