The fact that the volvo redblock isnt on this list is criminal

[claytonandrews]

Millions of Chrysler slant six owners are disappointed it’s not on your list . The leaning tower of power was impossible to kill

[neilhadley]

The Ford Barra 4.0L out of Australia is very reliable, made into 2016. Now being sort after as they can produce massive power for drag racing and driving.

The Ford 300 inline 6 and the 7.3 Powerstroke need a spot on the list of indestructible engines

Perhaps you may not be familiar with them, but the slant six was introduced by Chrysler Corp. in 1960. These engines had a very strong record for durability and reliability for several decades in millions of passenger cars as well as trucks.

My uncle was on the team that developed the AMC 4.0. He said when they started testing it, they put it on a use simulator and ran it for years in hot and cold temperatures, rain, traffic loaded weights and weeks without oil change. 24 hours a day for 4 years.

The 2V 4.6 liter Ford Modular engine is extremely reliable. In the Crown Victoria, they are known to hit 400, 000 miles with regular maintenance.

My 4.0 is still kicking with 405k miles on it. Absolutely love those engines.

[bryandouglas]

The 4.9 300 is a beast it might only have 150 hp but it will produce almost 270 ftp of torque

You missed the million mile Lexus UZFE V8, the most beautifully crafted, under-stressed over-engineered non-interference smooth engine ever built.

My favorite Ford Engine was the 300CID-6.
It was awesome in the F-100 pickup.

[codymoncrief]

Those Buick’s were absolute units. Grandma was never late to church.

I owned two Jeeps with the 4.0L Six--they were prone to exhaust manifold leaks, especially in the earlier versions, but other than that, were just indestructible. A friend owned a later generation Ford 4.9L Six with electronic fuel injection--close to the most perfect inline 6 ever. The engine was still going strong with over 300K miles when the rest of the truck was falling apart.

Glad you mentioned the 3800 engine. They deserve recognition.

[waynespringer]

100% on your first engine. I have 2. 1988 Pickup with 22R (36 years old) and a 1994 Pickup with 22RE (30 years old) Both are still running great today with the 22R carbureated still getting 31MPG with a 4 speed manual.

[larrygulick]

Ironic that I own two of the engines you've list. My '96 Grand Cherokee with the 4.0 plus my '95 F150 with the 4.9. Both are simple, bullet proof and are perfect for putting around as I'm an old geezer and NOT in a hurry to get anywhere. Yup, I agree with your choices.

[googleuser]

I can absolutely agree with this list. 👍👍 And i am very surprised that you mentioned the GM 3800. Most people forget about those. And the AMC 4.0! This is one absolutely beautiful list. 👏👏👏

[drzoidberg]

The jeep 4.0 and d series Honda are such amazing engines. Been around both for years. Owned a 97, 98, and 04 civic and a 97 Cherokee and 00 grand Cherokee. As long as there is oil in these engines, and the most basic of maintenance....these engines simply won't die

[jabomiles]

One of the better videos of engines IMO. As a 60 something wannabe life long gearhead, I can relate to your choices. There is one common denominator to these engines: all were nearly indestructible, but far from the factory performance engines. In our quest to get lighter more powerful engines we have often designed long lasting durability out. But progress (or lack of in this case), must go on. One engine that I think could have been included is the old dodge slant six. Again, heavy, low reving, low HP, but basic maintenance and these would last and last. Great job on the video. Thank you.

I had a neighbor in Puerto Rico that owned a Celica from the 70s with a 22R, he ran the car with no oil for about 2hr. And he made it home. The engine seized. The following weekend my uncle replaced the pan, put Castrol, hand spun the engine and told our neighbor to crank it. It started like nothing ever happened and he drove it until the early 2000s and parked it because the floor rotted. The car still in his Yard today. 😂
