The things people argue about on forums it’s entertaining as long as my truck starts everyday and gets my ass down the highway with no problems I’m happy with it

whatever you say.

5.7

Not on the poll but the 6.2, either L92 or L9H. The LS engines have superceded the old Gen 1 and Gen 2 small blocks in every shape and form. However...... I don't really like the shift to smaller rev happy V8's too much. That's why I like the 6.0 and the 6.2 litre for that matter. They still displace some cubes ( 364 cid and 378 cid respectively) and make half decent low end power along with the better breathing and higher rpm...

Ok, I own two traditional small block chevy engines. I love them and will probably never get rid of the SBC in the Camaro. That said, the LS-based engines are far superior to the 1955-based SBC in every way. Durability, power... everything.
