In my experience:

1. Almost anything Toyota, especially R series engines, 20R being the most reliable.
2. Subaru EA-71 & EA-81
3. Chevy small block & 4.3 (the rest of the truck falls apart, though)
4. Jeep 4.0 I6

My cousins had an old '70s Honda CVCC that they drove hard for a long time and then tried to kill a few times. They had it so beat that it could barely move. They had it hauled away still running. I am not sure what engine was in it, but that makes my list.

I also had a Daihatsu Rocky with the 1.6. I think that engine would have got a good reputation if more were sold in the US.
