I'm glad you asked this question about the stongest engines. In my opinion, stength is one of the cucial aims of engine design. If your engine's not stong, then you don't have any hosepower or toque; and that means you can't go very fast or accelerate very quickly.

I am sure I read a article in 'fast ford' on a guy who had a escort cossie..He said that after you tune over 330bhp is when internals start to go when driven hard.
Don't know if this is true?

The Fiat 1300/1500 SOHC was very strong. It was the first mass produced OHC engine dating from the early 1970's. Was fitted in many cars in the Fiat stable for nearly 20 years, including cars such as Fiat 128 Rallye/Coupe/3P, X1/9 and Lancia Delta. The bottom end was bomb proof with it's 5 bearing crank. In race applications, American Sports Car series etc they used to rev it to 11,000 even 12,000rpm on a completely standard bottom end, not even balancing needed. Top end was where the mods came in.

I read an article where BMW in the turbo F1 era were getting 1000bhp/litre from a 100,000 mile run in iron block.
Pretty impressive, but I don't think they were built to last

1700 crossflow
Rev it to 10k then change up - 4 quids worth of oil in the sump and never change it
Not failed in 6 years since it was built for the grand total cost of a 24 crate of stella

or even the 2.0 lump in my volvo 240GL, 207000 miles on it, full of cheapest 20w50 in the world, broken engine mounts, sit her on the limiter from cold for 10 minutes and she STILL won't use a drop of oil! and had the speedo wound to the M of MPH the other day, with a possible display of 120....
