@@leonardhirtle3645 On what? Can you be more specific? I am a Ford guy and to me the FE was the best option and most under tuned and underrated of all. I like the 70s truck blocks best they had the 3 rib main, better oil passage consistency, and I have some old ProStock Engineering main caps that are made with oiling passeges that are free to the crank through croosbolts that are hollow and using ARP hardware and running lines off the oil filter adapter feed oil to the crank and you only need two I put one on 2and 4 mains let it feed the can from the bottom and put plugs in the passeges above the cam to let the oil drop to the pan on 2 and 4 and it raises the oil pressure to 1-3-5. 1 has a direct shot anyway so it really improves 3 and 5 mains and all of the rods greatly. ARP bolts too, and get 1 mm 1mm 2 mm rings and .105 thick pushrods and conical springs for a hyd or solid roller. Light and well balanced. Also if you get a good bore truck block forget about making it a 428. Bore it as little as you can., like 4.096 for a good block and a Scat 3.98 crank that is turned down to 2.2 rod journals and use 6.8 rods, 3.865 stroke if it’s 2.43 rod journals, that is a solid 407 ci with a 10.155 deck a 1.42 ch piston, and with a 3.865 stroke and a 6.8 rod, a 1.756 rod to stroke, like a 327 Chevy. Do a short fill up to the core plugs and you’ll have.160plus thick bores. You can put a set of Trick Flows and a 2x4 with Holleys or Holley throttle body injection and you’ll have a quick revving bulletproof 600 hp 55O lb ft engine that could be 900 hp with an S475 or S480. At 8 lbs of blow through boost to each carb. I d enjoy that if I could see to drive it. Oh and that’s on 93 with 9.7:1 ch.

Great list but the giant killer 340 mopar should have been included.

The mopar small block 340. These were badass high reving engines. I won a lot of drag races with it.

Oldsmobile!! How could you leave them out??? The infamous 442-W30!!! They were a powerhouse. I had a 69 I got from a vet from Nam. It had only 20k original miles on it. Went threw that car soup to nuts. It was amazing!!! These kids today wouldn't know what to do with so much stock power!!!

The fire turbo 327 is my favorite engine, power vs weight! That being said! The Chevy's 283 & Ford's 289 especially that block has probably won more racing Gold than all the engines combined?

Chevy 454 in the chevelle ss how did you guy's miss that?

Chrysler 340. The big block beater. The reason the production of the Chrysler 400 and 440 ended was it was a condition of the government load Chrysler got In 1978. If you find a 1979 Chrysler product with a 440, it's in inventory prior to the loan. They would have kept building them for truck usage.

I really appreciate everything you guys did about the engine series. But it would have been great if you guys could have mentioned something about the Oldsmobile engine's? Next time you need to remember that Oldsmobile was going on back then too.

Chevy, after 1969, punched out the 396 .30 over. Making it a 402. But on ss cars it was 396 on passenger cars it was 400 and pick ups 402. " Insurance costs." Also Chevy built the DZ 302 from 1967-69 . The original Boss 302.

It's really hard to believe that you didn't even bring up the Buick Buick 455GS stage 1 stage 2 wow

I have a copy of the original ASME paper they Chrysler wrote on the first Gen Hemi engine. One of the primary reasons for the ‘51 Hemi was its resistance to accumulation combustion chambers deposits. Back in the early ‘50s that was a major problem, more like a curse, afflicting engines of the day.

The 409 deserves much more than a passing mention while talking about the 396. It was an iconic engine in its own right. Also, Chevrolet never put it in an intermediate sized car. The whole reason it came about was because they needed something more than a small block to power their full size passenger cars so they started putting the 348 in their full sized cars in 1958. In 1961 they increased the displacement to 409 and it became legendary even though it was only available for five years. I think they should have mentioned the Ford Flathead V8 too. Even though it wasn’t produced during the muscle car era, what hot rodders were doing with them in the fifties was one of the things that led to the muscle car era.

@jd4harley

The 409 should’ve been covered in more depth because as it progressed, they offered a ZL 11 409 with a unusual intake that produces more horsepower than any 409 before it successfully drag race and the full size Chevys with some exceptional times that in a lot of classes to this day, I believe is unequal❤

I'm not expert on this stuff, but the video caught my attention. I was an avid Motor Trend reader in my teenage years in the late '60s and early '70s, at I seem to recall that as of about 1970, the fastest *stock* car Motor Trend had tested was the Buick GSX running the Buick 455 cu. in. engine. In fact, I just looked it up and MT got 13.38 in the quarter mile.

The Buick GSX powered by the 455 CI V8 was a fast car and awesome engine but was produced in limited numbers and was extremely expensive, similar to the Mercury Montigo Cyclone MX with the 429 CI. This video, however, is about "most iconic" and does cover them fairly well.

Um, why do you have a picture of a 75-76 Buick regal engine that barely made 100 horsepower as your opening image?

Ford never put 427 in Torino's .

An engine Ford should have made was the 410 with a bigger camshaft and CobraJet heads and the 2x4 aluminum intake with better Exhaust and put in the Fairlane and Mustangs .

Well you missed the Briggs and Stratton 16....I'm just saying
