What is the "Best" engine is like saying what is the best fruit or type of wood yada yada?
But the small block chev would tick more boxes than any other engine ever built.I think the 100 millionth sbc was produce in 2012.
But I'm still a mopar small block guy!
What were the bore and stroke of each engine?I used to work in pontiac parts, in the late 70's ..... The trans ams were 6.6 liter (olds engines) or 6.6 TA (pontiac engines)

The 305 in my '84 Chevy ran 369,000 before spinning 3 rod bearings.My dad had a 305 in 1985 it was blowing blue smoke at 60,000 miles- ran good though
Thanks, I just edited my last post from Poncho to Oldsmobile thinking I might (and did) make a mistake.Looking on line, the pontiac was 4.12 bore by 3.75 stroke. The Olds was 4.351 by 3.385 stroke
