Mazda 26B Wankel Rotary (the king of rotary engines)
BMW turbocharged M12/13 (5.5 bar boost, as much as 1400HP) RST-V8 (because nothing is cooler than taking two 5VPC motorcycle engines and putting them together. Well except if you did that and added a supercharger [which they have already done for the Ariel Atom 500 and Lotus Super 7 RS Levente])

Btw Chrysler's alloy V10 first seen in the Viper debuted before the iron V10 version later seen in Dodge trucks - so you could just as well claim that the iron V10 motor is actually Chrysler's non-alloy version of their 'sports car' engine rather than being a 'truck' engine

Only 3?
In no particular order. -The Ferrari Colombo V12, the original Ferrari engine. This is perhaps the greatest engine ever made. Any of the variants will do, from the earliest 1.5-litre to the last 4.9-litre units. But if I had to pick one it would probably be the classic 2953cc with 6 twin Webers. Great sound, great performance, heritage, racing pedigree. It has everything. -The Porsche flat-six engine. It did last 35 years with solutions like air cooling and 2 valves per cylinder. Great sound and maybe the most successful racing engine ever. A legend which will be forever be united to that other legend. -The AMG fettled M113 Mercedes-Benz V8. It might not have the history and pedigree of the other two but it just the charisma. Massively powerful in supercharged form and a fabulous soundtrack.
