In an age of EcoBoost, DuraTec and SkyActiv I miss the names of old engines. My favorite was the CJ straight 4 with an engine that evolved from the Go Devil to the Hurricane and then the Iron Duke.

Whats your favorite engine name?

I love that crossram manifold and, if possible, will be installing one on the Dak.

Although I've never seen one IRL, the name Northstar sounds really cool.

Buick Fireball 8 always sounded cool to me. I even get excited when I see one in an old Buick and I don't know why.

If I was a robot, S50B32 would probably sound like a cool engine name.

Way better name than actual. Transverse V8 always killed the Caddy for me.

In a Mini; let them mock me as My Mini Countryman is higher than you > pdish 11/13/2013 at 19:00

Lamborghini's Longitudinale-Postione V 12

Due to Audi's takeover, this engine shouldn't exist now. But Lambo said Fuck You(as usual) and oh dear lord does it sound amazing
