I'm more of a GM guy when it comes to my V8 of choice. I'd take an SBC over any of the ford small blocks, although the 351W is pretty cool. Continuing on in time, I'd take an LT1 over a fox-body-vintage 5.0 and I don't think there's even a comparison to be made with the early mod motors. I'd take an LS1 over a twin cam NA mod motor. When you get to the blown 4.6... well, that's a different story. I can't wait to see what the 5.4 will do.

Back to the topic, I can't really think of anything in the six cylinder segment. Where did the ass-kicking inline sixes go? It seems like all the Japanese manufacturers are switching to weaksauce NA V6s.
