Builder’s favorite build?

Echo left a lot on the table with pretty much every motor they ever made - even the ones for Asia only. It's the Japanese way.

That's why the L-24/26/28 motors from the 1970's Nissan Z cars will go 300k with regular maintenance. Nissan designed a motor capable
of 500 horse and then detuned it.

Don’t forget Toyota! How about the 2UZ-FE or the 5VZ-FE? I would put the 2UZ in the category of one of the most overbuilt engines of all time… it’s a 4.7L DOHC iron block, forged rod, v8 that makes 220 HP and has several documented cases of exceeding a MILLION miles

I'm looking for a truck and it's going to have that 2UZ-FE! Man is that easy to work on!

Amazing engine - the 2UZ-FE 4.7L V8. My '02 Tundra just passed 200K miles; purrs like a kitten, smooth and quiet. Has never used a drop of oil; never given a moment's trouble. I should probably buy a new truck, but can't think of a single one I'd prefer - they all seem too gaudy, flashy, etc.
Chainsaw-wise, my 30 year old Stihl 026 is sorta' the same. Dead reliable; gets the job done with zero fuss.
On your hot saw questionnaire, how about some 80's Canadian muscle? My (restored) Pioneer P51 (82cc) will put a lot of modern saws right back on the trailer; plus, it's just cool as hell...
