- Chevy 350 4 bolt main. Hands down for me. So many configurations, so easy to obtain and maintain. Can be 200hp or over 1000hp.

I don't like it either in most cases, but I love it in my Z4. | |

| I had an E36 back on BNB with a V8, I got it super cheap so it wasn't my choice haha. It felt horrible. Never tried it in an E46 though. Hell, I don't even know what it's like in the E92. I always swap the V10 in there. | |

| I Love the LS Series, They Put out more power than Most stock motors today. Im also a fan of the ford 302 motor(not knowing the code). They're both good motors IMO. But theres people that have to side because what others have taught them. lol I like chevy to a point but im not the biggest fan. Im into more Jap Cars. | |

| KA24de: It's never given me problems, gets pretty good gas milage when I do drive it, and good Get-up-and-Go Yamaha 600cc: It has 38k miles and half of its track life, still has no problem reving to 14,000rpms while pushing it on the track |

| You guys make me chuckle lol I know everyone's friends again, but i've never quite understood the 'engine argument' conversation I'd have to disagree to an extent over the cheapness of an LS or Windsor in the UK as importing the crate adds a big chunk to the build costs. Where as an RB25 can be found for peanuts here in a rusted out gts-t for sub 1k, usually with extras, plus the money you can make back on the car parts. But at the end of the day it's all just opinion, There is no 'best motor' only best for 'me and my budget' as lets face it if money was no object we'd all have bespoke motors that were lightweight, 2,000bhp with similar torque in our preferred layout for sound (V8, flat 4/6, straight 6 or V12)
When all's said and done what matters is we are all gear heads with passion for internal combustion! I for one would prefer to argue the virtues of engine families over what the latest offer for Wayne Rooney is before the transfer window closes *yawn* | |
