B16 you phuckers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
Actually I would have to say the Hemi is probably the best v8 ever made. Isn't that was basically all Top Fuel uses? Can beat the design of that motor. -Mark

SBCs and BBCs are pimp. Pretty much the same design over time with different tweaking depending on application needed during release date and technology availible. LS1s are nice because they are efficient and powerful. However, I'm pretty sure if you tweak an old SBC vs. tweaking a brand new LS1, they'd yield about the same power in the end, tho the aluminum design of the LS1 might make it weaker? Same for an old BBC vs. a "new" BBC, tho that design hasn't really changed at all I think. They still rev low as balls stock and have crazy torque, and when tweaked put out insane power.
European v8s, meh. Add a turbo to a v8 and you get power. Congratulations that they figured that out. Add a turbo to a v8 here, same result.
Someone's running around with a mostly stock internals (I think he finally added valve springs) 100,000+ mile LS1 w/ a T76 turbo I think and he's pushing over 750 rwhp and like over 850 rwtq. That's with stock compression, unforged pistons, no flow modsifications or cam modifications. Maybe injectors were changed I'm thinkin, but not sure they mentioned that. Anyway, motor is still runnin with that power on 14.5 lbs of boost.

Europe makes plenty of NA V8 engines that are still very nice engines. the TVR with 420hp and 380b-ft of torque. BMW S62 with 394hp and 369lb-ft of torque in the M5. or the Maserati 4.2 with 385hp and 333lb-ft of torque in a engine that's a development of the 360 Modena. but as far as American engines i like the 4.6 in the new '03 Cobra's. i've seen what those cars do with just a blowzilla sc and it's sick.
