A small, rev-happy inline-six with twin SU carburettors. Not a whole lot of power, but character in spades.

DOHC air cooled twin. Supposedly the Honda CB450 was the first DOHC production bike. Made around 47 hp when it came out in 1965. I think it’s one of the best looking engines Honda has made, especially when the magnesium engine covers are cleaned up. I love mine. Lots of torque for an old air cooled Honda. Sounds great at full tilt.

My favorite engine? A factory-offered straight 6 with crossflow head and individual-runner Weber side drafts. Blueprinted for smooth operation, and dyno-tuned for instantaneous throttle response. (Like those in the 240Z, for example.)

Quad-turbo straight 12 that will explode if it revs past 3k, because who doesn’t want enough torque to start earthquakes?

A nice high revving V10.

It’s not something that I want to own - I could never use it properly - but holy hell do they sound good.

Big straight sixes with a wide powerband, and torque, so probably SOHC, but not necessarily. BMW M30, probably 1JZ, though I’ve never driven someone with a 1JZ.

Plus quite a lot of 70s supercars had low displacement V8s (even 2.0 in some cases). No variable valve timing there though.

Rotary, V10 and V12 are all awesome - but as far as ordinary engines go, my favourite are low displacement V6s (2.0 or under).

Kinja'd!!!

Like the Mazda K-series engine. Very smooth engines, with a bit more grunt than your usual four-pot.
