F-150, and although I really admire the Ecoboost torque numbers, I think the Coyote 5.0L is the best kept secret in power per dollar.
From tfltruck.com: (for 2018 F-150 models)
"5.0L Coyote V8
We are thankful that the V8 engine remains in the F-150 lineup. Now, it’s even sweeter. Maximum horsepower is 395 hp @ 5,750 rpm (up 10 hp when compared to the 2017 version), and total torque output is now 400 lb-ft @ 3,850 rpm (which is 13 lb-ft more)."
Edit: Now, let's put these awesome modern small block numbers in perspective:
"up through 1970 the legendary Mopar 440 cubic-inch Magnum engine produced: Horsepower: 375bhp @4,600rpm Torque: 480lb-ft @3,200rpm."
This was fun:
Which F-150 engine would the technicians choose?
