What is the best engine ever made?

this guy knows

Gen 1 Chevy 350
AMC 242

retarded fucking boomer

I'm not even 30 dude but now I wanna hear why you say that

may i ask why everyone is saying sbc? I a gen 1 350 in an older monte carlo and am trying too decide if i should go ls or maybe something neat/ different like a ca18det

Best engine ever made for what?
Going fast? Delivering mail? Getting stellar fuel economy? Powering your mom's dildo? Pulling logs out of a forest? Going for long distances with shit maintenance? Having a huge aftermarket? Be specific.

AMC 4.0 HO

There is no argument.
This is objectively the best engine ever made.

Any contender that isn't an inline 6 is a joke of a contender.
All the v6 or v8 cucks haven't ever had a good inline 6.
If you're going to deal with the headache of a v engine, you might as well go all out and go v12.

Go awd...

I personally like the gen 1 350 because of insane anounts of modularity. Millions of combinations and permutations of the engine exist you can 100 percent customize it to your application.

Unless of course you don't want a 500lb engine
