Tadek Marek's I6's and V8
And these...*Except the rare Savage V6 conversion.
Tha Audi 5 cylinder turbo in their group B rally car.
The Kent was in so much more than just that as well. Debuted at 997cc in 105E Anglia, also a 1300 Crossflow in the Capri, a 1500 Crossflow in the Corsair, and the Classic for a short time. Powered all Mk1/2 Cortinas*, as well as some Mk3s, as well as the Fiesta. Eventually the block found its way into the 21st century as the Endura (fitting name) being fitted to the Ford Ka and Mk4/5/6 Fiestas.
*Except the rare Savage V6 conversion.
Which later inspired the white block - Audi worked on it. I don't know if Fiat's five cylinder was related too.
I would say the Ferrari Colombo V12 is pretty iconic - especially in 3 litre form.
And the Kent engine made its way across the Atlantic to serve as the standard engine in the Ford Pinto and Capri - although the 1.6L in the Capri was replaced by the 2L in '71.
Mazderp's 4-rotors. Any of them. WANK.
Has anyone mentioned the Viper's V10 yet? If not, it needs to be mentioned.
The 993's aircooled Porsche boxer, too. The last evolution of Porsche's aircooled engines.
4G63T, too. Duh.
