Smallest was a 1.5l in a Honda CRX.
Biggest was a 4.1l I6 in a 1976 Nova.
Power level for the two was probably not all that different, to be honest...the biggest dog I owned was an Outback with a 2.2l engine. The first car I had that was truly fun to drive was a "RAV6", although the little CRX did handle extremely well...a friend who had a 944 in the family said the feel was comparable and he claimed their Porsche was not that much quicker.
My dad had a Merc with a 390 (6.4l), but that thing got towed away before I was able to drive. That monster took up almost every square inch of the garage in our 1950-era house and sat in there for years while dad made plans to get her running again while our functioning cars sat outside in Chicago winters.

Had an old Yamaha XS400 that I kind of got running. I had a GS500 as well. Now I have an SV650.

Car-wise, we have a Nissan Leaf, but I drove a 1.7L Civic before that, and a 2.4L Element now.
 
smallest was the 2.4 in a Pontiac Sunfire and Cavalier. Ran the usual 5.2 in several Dodge trucks/vans. Had the 5.7 in my 2011 Ram 1500. Currently running the 4.2 in my Trailblazer and 6.7 Cummins in the Ram 3500.
