The first incarnation of AMC's 4.0 straight-six dates back to 1964. I know. But hear me out!
The 4.0 liter version came out in 1986, but was reworked and redesigned all through the 1990s and into the mid 2000s. The one in the picture is full of names because it's the 5 millionth 4.0 engine built produced on the Greenlee Block Line.

A friend had a Comanche with the 4.0. It was a damn beast.
I had a Cherokee with the 4.0. What a engine. Goobs of power. It would run with zero fluids in it. I think mine ended up with 200k miles on it. The only thing I ever replaced was belts and plugs.

Turbolence88:
Dear god yes. I knew five people in college with Cherokees powered by these beasts. The rest of the trucks usually fell apart, but these things never. Fucking. Quit.
One even went 23,000 miles, driven hard, with a leaking seal somewhere, without an oil change. Sold it and the new owner rebuilt it, after driving it home 400 miles through a New England winter storm. Incredible.

The 2JZ-GTE with VVT-i was created to fight Nissan's brilliant engines in the world of boost and variable valve-timing. The basic engine debuted in 1991, but its variable-timing version came out in 1997, so it's good after all.
Put a 2JZ-GTE into literally anything, and you'll be good too.

Read more ReadI am prepared for the backlash, but I firmly believe it: Ford's EcoBoost V6.
It has, for the first time in history, given the top truck line a V6 that outperforms the V8s in both horsepower, torque, and MPG. While there may be engines out there that crank out more power than the EcoBoost, none have come close to changing the half ton pick up truck landscape like this motor has. And this is VERY important to meeting CAFE regulations.
