Though I've already stated my fondness for 2 cycle Detroits and small block Chevys, I also want to vote for Chevy's first big block, the W block.
The unusual combustion chamber in the block (no, not unique for you AC fans), achieved by machining the block deck at an angle different than 90 degrees from that of the bore (not the same as the WC/WD AC engines) and flush valves/cylinder head surface remains unusual in modern internal combustion engines.
I also vote for the 60 degree GMC V6/12 gasoline engines of the 60s/70s. These engines packaged well and no contemporary gasoline engines of the era produced competitive torque vis a vis cubic inches.
FWIW, GMC also produced 60 degree Toro Flow 4 cycle diesel engines in the 60s and 70s.
