The ford modular v-8's in just about any variation from the SOHC 4.6 to the quad-cam 5.6 are pretty bulletproof. I personally know of a 4.6L 1994 ford thunderbird with over 200,000 miles on it that has survived three teenage drivers. The tranny was replaced at 160,000, but the motor is fine.

I had a cj-5 with an AMC 304 v-8 that went 290,000 miles, and several of the AMC 258 I-6's with between 100,000 to 200,000 on them. The Jeep 4.0 is based on the 258.

22re's seem to take a beating, but mine the bed at 150,000, so I dunno...
