The hemispherical (HEMI) engine has been an automotive staple since its first generation starting in 1951. Used in classic trucks and legendary muscle cars up until 1971, the HEMI was revived in the early 2000s. Ram trucks started coming equipped with the 5.7-liter HEMI, then enthusiasts received the massive 6.2-liter HEMI V8 D170, that powered the Dodge Hellcat. When every major HEMI engine is ranked, from least to most horsepower, the top spot features one with 1500 horses.

Why Is Dodge Discontinuing The HEMI Engine?

With their fuel-efficiency advantage over gasoline engines of similar capacity, it is odd that diesel engines haven't been offered often in modern light-duty vehicles. Therefore, when Chrysler introduced the 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6 as an option for the 2014 Ram 1500 pickup and Jeep Grand Cherokee, it was a bit of an anomaly, albeit a welcome one to those who wanted an efficient engine with low-end grunt in a half-ton truck or sport-utility vehicle.

Is The Chrysler 3.0L EcoDiesel A Good Engine? Here's What Owners And Mechanics Say

If you are considering buying a 2025 Ram 1500 Big Horn with the base V-6 engine, only do so if your goal is to pay as little money as possible. Or maybe just don’t. The entry-level engine just does not have enough muscle. And in today's mad world where a $64,000 full-size pickup can still have the least powerful engine in its lineup, that base engine matters.

The Pontiac brand was established in 1926 by General Motors and was so successful in its early years that GM abandoned its similar Oakland division in 1933. Pontiac had begun to flounder by mid-century, though, so John DeLorean was hired to manage the division in 1956. Pontiac flourished under his leadership, cementing its place in muscle car history with the 1964 GTO and following that up with the beastly yet gorgeous 1967 Firebird.

Ford has made some truly remarkable engines since the company was founded in 1903, and its motors power everything from massive trucks to iconic muscle cars, and track-bound race cars to warplanes and tanks. While it's hard to choose just five engines the U.S. automaker designed and made, we're looking at five class-leading gasoline-powered engines that arguably outshone other contemporary engines across its history. Some were chosen for their reliability, and others for sheer performance or record-breaking specifications. These are engines that Ford no longer makes, but we wish it did still, even if only for the bragging rights of owning new versions of them.

The Chevrolet Monte Carlo is a classic, perhaps best known as the car featured in "Training Day," a film starring Denzel Washington and Ethan Hawke — but it had a very rough road in the 1980s. The fourth-gen Monte Carlo gave buyers the pick of a 5.7L V8 diesel engine, better known as the Oldsmobile Diesel. In production from 1978 to 1985, this engine was plagued with problems over its entire lifetime, and it led to a steep decline in diesel engine sales.
