Since SHELBY cars came with just about all engines in the Ford line up, Which one do you prefer and why?
The one that is running and needs no broken parts replaced. ::)
Are we turning corners or just going straight?
It depends what you like to do? I like to do both and have my favorites for both venues. They could not be any farther apart on types of engines so keep a stable of odd bed fellows, I mean different stallions ready to stretch their legs.
Hmmm, let me think....uh...uh...oh yeah the side-oiler. ;D
351 Cleveland Hands down
Race 289 with Webber's, looks great, sounds even better
"Different stroke for different folks. Different ways on different days".
Why not have one of each? I do.
Very open ended question.
It was not meant to be a trick question, If you like big blocks , small blocks, stock, modified, blown, injected ,multiple carbs , even if you have a car you wish it had something different in it. What do you like and why? Engines are diverse as this crowd! ;D

Not to say anything bad about other engines ( love the look of an F/E engine) but this is a great sound and look

Gotcha
Early would be the 428 anchors with their torque, reliability and yes you can spin them to 7,000 rpms. We have a friend who has done this on numerous times.....
Late the 5.4, 5.8 and the recent 5.2 supercharged GT500 motors. What a piece of art and brutality mixed in to these packages.

That is one badazz setup!
I've had a few. By far, my 289 Cobra (CSX2192) & '66 GT350 (6S2055) sounded incredible....both had webers! The 427's & 428's were ok...especially the SO 427 but still lean to the 289!
That one might be up for the MOUSE THAT ROARED award... Probably a Kurt Vogt engine.
Anything with Webers cause they look cool at the "cars and coffee" ;D
High winding, short stroked (2.875",BTW) 289!!
Hands down for all around engine.
