There aren't very many "classic" engines, but certainly the 318 stands
alone as the best engine ever developed. I might rank the 220 slant
six as one and the 220 Silver Diamond International six as another.

Also considered - 327, 350 and the great 564 International/Ford truck
engine along with the 7.3 liter diesel.


I'd thrown in Ford's 260/289/302 as well. The 289 powered many cars,
large and small.

For numbers powered the GM 2.8/3.1 might be there.
I saw a car magazine (Car & Driver?) article about a year ago that
was titled something like "the top 10 engines of all time."
I remember the GM 3800 (maybe 3.8) and the Nissan 3.0 were 2 of them,
but can't remember much else.
I've put most of my miles on 2.8/3.1's, with 350's next.
