Well, I am going to buck the nostalgia trend people have replied with so far and say my favorite factory motors are the current LSx motors from GM. They are a masterpiece IMHO. All Aluminum, 6 bolt mains, great flowing heads, work well with either EFI or carbed, infinitely tunable. Folks are talking about the ZL-1, one person mentioned it is the most powerful factory Chevy motor. Not any more, the new LS7, all aluminum 427 at 505 hp will out do it. And it is a real production motor, not a COPO. Back in the day I had a couple different 427/425 L72s. They were awesome, but finally 40 years later they have been surpassed. I love my LS1 and if I was going to build another car, it would have some variant of the LS2 for power.

Of course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong!
