The 318 seemed to outlast anything it was ever installed in.

Automotive? best for what purpose?... my favorites are the L88 427 Chevrolet, L72 427 & ZL1 427... Ford FE 427 side oiler & SOHC (Cammer), Ford 429 SCJ & Boss 9... Mopar 440 Magnum & 6 Brl/Pack, the 426 Hemi was great on the race track (not so much on the street)... i'm a Shiverlay guy, but i gotta' admit the Fords & Mopars were more durable, The FE won Lemans (with Chrysler Hemi connecting rods?), and the 426 Hemi Cleaned Up in NASCAR... and to beat the piss out of on the street, gimme' a 440 magnum or a 429 SCJ anyday!... "Gator Mcklusky" or "Kowalski" anyone ?...

Lots of great ones. With performance in mind:
Ford - 427 SOHC, the 5.0L Coyote, the 351 Cleveland, the 428 CJ
Chevy - the original small block in it's highest form, the 350; the 375 horse (actually was the 425 but got derated for insurance purposes) 396
Chrysler - the Hemi(s), especially the 426 & the 440 Six-Pack
Pontiac had some goodies they dropped in the GTOs, like the 389s
These days I like the 5.0 Coyote in my pickup.
There were other great engines, but great for other reasons...such as the VW air-cooled engines once they got past the 40-hp mark; the 1500 pancake that came in the sedans and wagons was a good one. Chrysler's slant-6 was a stone, and so was Ford's 200 & 240 6-banger---and later on the 2.3L EFIs they put in the Ranger pickups. The GMC V-6s were pretty outstanding. None of those were stump pullers, but they powered some pretty reliable transportation.
Actually, now that I think about it...a list of the DOG engines would probably be shorter: I'd put the Chevy 307 and the Ford 5.4L Triton on that list. More if I took time to think about it...

The 318 seemed to outlast anything it was ever installed in. That's because Chrysler's bodies were POSs when the 318 was living. It weren't really a bad engine, though...just nothing remarkable.

Nobody has posted one of the whizbang 4-cylinder turbos yet? I've got a turbo 2.0 liter in a 2021 Acura RDX that generates 272 hp.

It would seem that purpose would matter.
Conduct is the best proof of character.

It would seem that purpose would matter. Great point Ed... Performance? Reliability? Proven track record? Parts availability? And cost......
