All 4-cylinder's from honda because they 30+ mpg's. And they last up to 300K+ miles. Rotary Engine, because there so darn smooth, and quite and reliable (without stock twin turbos) n' FAST.

4 Rotor!!
H-E-L-L-O?! is this an RX board or what?
The Mazda 4rotor that won the Le Mans in the 787B? The R26B.
449 lb-ft @6500 rpm
700hp@9000 rpm
Peripheral intake ports (as well as exhaust ports) 10.0:1 compression ratio. Two-piece silicon nitride ceramic apex seals. Variable length intakes, port fuel injection.
While the 787 may not be at SevenStock this year, there should be another 4rotor or two. Come on out and feel the power of this engine. There is nothing on earth quite like the sound of a 4rotor.

Since all my favs have been mentioned, i'll just throw out a cool one: The Bugatti W-16 quad turbo that makes 1000 hp and 1000 lbs/torque.

Ducati 998cc 90 degree V-twin; because it's different (no valve springs), because it's powerful and torquey, but most of all, because it's Italian automotive aural pleasure at its finest.

dang. R26B... good one Dan, i'm just a late-comer.
anyhoo, second favourite: 13B-REW
third: RENESIS (<- really hoping the dowls and bolts are an improvement... some lower compression grind on the rotors, some good portin' and a turbo... *shiver* COULD be the next-big-thing for RX's)

coolest engine Space Shuttle!!!
SRB = 3.3 million lbs thrust
Main Engines = 1.2 million lbs thrust
Worlds most efficient engine...nano-motor running on ATP synthase. And guess which motor design they based this cellular model off of...drumroll please....ROTARY!! It's the equivelent of turning a 200ft propeller at 10,000 rpms!!!
