The off topic thread here https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/off-topic-discussion/minor-confession-thread/63854/page191/#post2740693
made me think for a few minutes about engine sizes I've owned. 6.3l (383), 1.8, 302, 350, 351, 3.0, 289, 3.5, 2.3 turbo, 3.2, 2.8, 5.4, 4.0, 3.8, 304...never a supercharged engine, factory or aftermarket.
Makes me want to create a checklist of engines I need to own
In cars everything from 850cc 2 cylinder to 472ci v8. I cannot list 90+ engines
I've only owned Asian I4s between 1.3 and 1.6L.

I've owned a 500 but not in a car. Smallest was a 1300. In a VW but not running.

The 3 responses above are what made me think the topic was interesting.
Some have owned everything imaginable, and some are tight within a group. No corollary for society, I think, but fun and interesting nonetheless.
440ci, 5.9 (360ci), 5.9 (359ci), 2 350s, 5.2, 305, 4.3, 4.0, 3.9, 3.1, 2.5, and 1.9.
1 turbo diesel, rest were NA gas. Only the 1st 350 had a carb but the 2nd 350 is soon to have the same carb. All were American except for the 2.5, it was a BMW.

1.6 to 7.5L in cars and trucks, unless I get to count the Wolseley, which doesn't actually have an engine with it, but would get me down to 1.0L based on what came in it from the factory.
In motorcycles, from 160 to 1000cc.
Model airplanes from 0.010 cubic inches to 0.35 cubic inches :)
Cars: from 1.1 liter to 400 cubic inches; four, six and eight cylinders.
Motorcycles: 50cc to 1100cc; one, two and four cylinders.
I have owned 30+ cars which ranks me a armature status with this crowd. Engines range from 1 to 7 liters. If I combine cas and motorcycles I have owned
1 cyl, 2 cyl, 3 cyl, 4 cyl 5 cyl 6 cyl and 8 cyl.
Mine ranged from 1275 cc up to 8.1L, not counting motorcycles.
400cc, 3.0L (x2), 3.3L (x2), 3.6L, 3.8L, 4.9L (x2), 5.0L (x4), 347CID (x2), 400CID, 460CID.
The thing is, I've only had 12 cars over the last 28 years (since I turned 18; the cars before that all belonged to my parents).
One was a Honda, one was a Chevy, and the others are all Fords.
I’ve got 1293cc to 429 cubic inches in the driveway right now.
27.2ci, 51.7ci, 53.8ci, 91.1ci, 107.8ci(x2), 170.8ci, 232.8ci(x3), 262.4ci, 301ci(x2), 305ci(x3), 350ci(x3) 400ci, 403ci.
Cars 4 cylinder from 875cc to 2818cc and one 6 cylinder 2500cc across 59 cars in 53 years plus one non running 3 cylinder 990cc 2 stroke (DKW) Also one 350cc 2 stroke motorcycle.
I’m in the tight grouping...I guess I know what I like. In cars I’ve had 1.3, 1.6-four different examples, 1.8, and 2.0 liters, all four cylinders.
In bikes I’ve had mostly singles and fours (and one v-twin) 125, 250, 350-four different times, 400, 550, 690, and 800.
