I would have to say that, on this site, you are going to find mostly V8's for sure. The LS series specifically... they are everywhere, engineered well, parts are available, etc etc etc...
I plan out what my goal is with the vehicle, what I want. I have a '50 Chevy 3600 that will have an inline 6 with fuel injection, well hidden. The idea is an old vehicle with (well hidden) new design. IRS, IFS, etc etc...
I have a '47 that will get an original inline 6, no custom anything. That vehicles a restoration.
I have an '84 Camaro that will be getting a 6.0 LS. It will be boosted (LS's have very strong rotating assembles) and a power house.
I have an '85 C10 that will be getting an inline 5 cylinder. It's more of a "look at me" vehicle, so the originality of a 5 cylinder will fit perfectly with the extreme lowering and custom interior.
So yeah... I'd say match the engine to the design of the project. However, on here, I'm going to go out on a limb and say the LS V8 will be the engine of choice on most builds.
