Engine Of The Day: BMW OHV V8
A pushrod, carburetor-fed V8 from BMW? Sure, but you have to go back about a half-century. More » -

Engine Of The Day: Ford Kent
We've already honored the Ford "Pinto" OHC engine here, but what about the pushrod four that served as the early Pinto's base engine? More » -

Engine Of The Day: Toyota JZ
After we had Engine Of The Day Overload last weekend, I got the usual flurry of emails pointing out the really important stuff I'd overlooked. One engine kept coming up, though: the mighty Toyota JZ! More » -

Engine Of The Day Overload!
We've been doing the Engine Of The Day series for a couple of years, so it's time we put all 74 EOTD honorees together! More » -

Engine Of The Day: Buick V6
If we ever get around to doing an Ultimate Engine Survivors list (to accompany the Survivor Cars list), this engine will surely be near the top. 47 years and counting! More » -

Engine Of The Day: Nissan VG
With 20 years of service, installation in dozens of different vehicles, and an excellent racing record, the Nissan VG definitely deserves Engine Of The Day honors. More » -

1961 Nash for $16,500 Cash!
Generally, describing a car as an appliance is pejorative, indicating it is dull as dishwater. Today Nice Price or Crack Pipe brings you a car that's totally not boring, but does look an awful lot like a refrigerator. More » -

Engine Of The Day: Saab Two-Stroke Three-Cylinder
Two-stroke engines for cars have always been on the smoky and noisy side, but they sure do make a lot of power for their size! More » -

The Official Ford Scorpion Diesel Engine Mascot. No, We're Not Kidding.
Apparently Ford contracted an out-of-work Detroit-area album cover artist for 80s hair bands to do the mascot for the 2011 Ford F-Series HD's all-new 6.7-liter V8 turbodiesel Scorpion engine. Or they were channeling the band of a similar name. [Pickuptrucks.com] -
#engineoftheday
Engine Of The Day: Chrysler Flathead Six
How long does an engine family need to survive in front-line use to become a legend? 42 years, like the Toyota R? 47, as with the small-block Chevy? Today's engine may have them both beat! More » -
#engineoftheday
Engine Of The Day: Fiat SOHC
We get quite a few suggestions for EOTD honors and we try to get to all of them, but a tip from a Fiat X1/9 racer always gets jumped to the front of the line! More » -
#engineoftheday
Engine Of The Day: Ford FE V8
One fun thing about this series is the vast quantity of big-displacement V8s built by Detroit during the second half of the 20th century. We'll never run out! More » -

Engine Of The Day: Ferrari Dino V6/V8/V12
We've been doing this Engine Of The Day business for a couple years now, yet we haven't seen a single Ferrari engine? Whoops! More » -

Engine Of The Day: Saab H
This Swedish inline-four debuted in 1981, but it was essentially a redesign of the 1972 Saab-Scania B engine, which itself was based on the- wait, can this be right?- Triumph Slant Four engine. More » -

Engine Of The Day: Mitsubishi Sirius
Mitsubishi hasn't been well represented in this series, so let's follow up its Astron engine with another Mitsubishi four-cylinder: the Sirius. More » -

Engine Of The Day: BMW M70 V12
We've only seen one V12 Engine Of The Day so far? Unacceptable! Let's take a look at an engine that you Project Car Hell masochists should have no problem obtaining cheap at the junkyard! More » -

Engine Of The Day: Ford (Yamaha) SHO V6
It seems that at least a couple of Taurus SHOs show up to any given 24 Hours Of LeMons race, so I've become quite familiar with the sound of this engine at full scream. More » -

Engine Of The Day: Oldsmobile Generation 2 V8
Maybe it didn't make financial sense for GM to have each division design its own engines- a policy that continued into, and sometimes beyond, the Malaise Era- but the results were some excellent pushrod V8s! More » -
#engineoftheday
Engine Of The Day: Alfa Romeo Twin Cam
For some reason, I thought we'd already given EOTD honors to this fine engine- more than 40 years of front-line service and endless racing glory certainly qualifies- but such was not the case. More » -
#engineoftheday
Engine Of The Day: Honda F20C
A 9,000-RPM inline-four engine that makes 247 naturally aspirated horsepower out of just two liters of displacement? That's what the Honda S2000's powerplant does! More »
