I’ve got the ford V8 tatted on my throat and the running horse on my back & the only Japanese car I’ve ever owned is a 90k mile JDM ‘98 Subaru Forester. I’m a fan of the mechanics that go into an engine and I can appreciate all kinds of engines from Porsches to Mercedes and GM & Ford and Toyota & Nissan. Every company makes great engines like the GM LS series down to the lil Chrysler 2.2L POS in early caravans. I’m far from a fanboy Haas, I buy, build, race, rebuild, & race some more. Get off your high horse Bud, these comment sections are made for good times not bummers like you. PS, what I was referring too is the nice firing order sound of these motors too. I’m a huge mustang fan and I know the coyote is an amazing engine but I truly do NOT like the sound of that engine. It’s that odd firing order that does it. However, that 5.2 Voodoo motor with that flat plain crank is the sound of my dreams. I’m building an oldskool 347 pushrod stroker for my current project but if I could line one up it would have a big turbo Barra in my ‘84GT T-top. I do like the DOHC 281 4.6 litre engines Ford has made as well. I’ve had two of them, both all aluminum. One was running great with 160k on it in a ‘96 cobra and I blew the other one up with 68k on it in an ‘03 Mach1. No power adders or anything. I’m a Mustang guy but I can appreciate just about anything out there, the fact is that driving is fun.

May u do a list of some of the most reliable engines ever built? For instance, the K series, OM617/OM606, Jaguar 3.8, BMW M50/M52/M54, 2JZ? As a modern engine, despite the timing chain being at the back of the engine, the B58 is already showing signs of it most likely being a bulletproof engine (tuneability and reliability) , putting it up with the likes of the engines with the best reputation. The stock bottom end (which is forged like its rods.) can handle up to 700hp+. The engine can also reliably handle up to 550-600 wtq stock. It also has a closed deck design, like a 2JZ making it capable of handling high boost. The EA888/EA855 are also great modern engines.
