Straight 8

Inline 5 or V10, just because muh sound.
And shorter than an I6 so it's easier to fit I guess.

Twin turbo GM ls or big block.

Off boost you have the displacement of the big v8 which gives you driveability. Unlike a boosted sub 3l engine that makes 200hp and ft/lbs until 6000rpm. You can make Chiron power and maintain and rebuild the engine in your garage.

A long-rod, tall deck, midsize v8
>350, 351, mopar 340
The longer connecting rod increases volumetric efficiency without demanding much more of the intake and exhaust runners, and having a tall deck height gives you ample room to increase stroke without running into limitations.

Why is i6 better than v6?

>no mention of flat six

I guess you are all GM niggers

i6/v12 for performance

Ecoboost v6 owners go here:

Just posted in another thread. I've got an old Cherokee with the straight six 4.0L. No crazy lift or tires, and it's starting to feel a little sluggish with only 108k miles. Gonna keep it in as long as possible, but does anyone have experience with strokers? There's a 4.6L one by Golen that's supposed to make 270hp and 300ft/lb.

It'll be about the cost of buying a new used shitbox ($6000ish after alls done). This seem like a good investment, or am I gonna be swamped with other troubles like having to upgrade the tranny, overheating, etc?

ANSWER ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Natural balance and a thinner shape for narrow chassis, in addition to a bit more low-end torque.

A V6 is more compact and usually more reliable though

>>17513734
>A V6 is more compact and usually more reliable though

Almost all Semi, tractor trailer diesels are Inline sixes and go for a million miles. Ford 300's were probably the most reliable engines Ford ever made. Bmw's m30 and m20, are 500k mile engines with only occasional valve adjustments.
