What I like about these motors is the simplicity yet great dependability. Sometimes less means more in my opinion. If you have a good, clean base and maintain it right from day one, I cant see it giving you any headaches down the road. Treat it good, and it will treat you the same in return. The only thing mechanicaly *knock on wood* is the piston slap I get upon start up which goes away shortly. Other then that, no complaints.

It really depends on how you treat the motor and maintain the motor. You deside to abuse it and race it everyday, it will return the favor with breaking down all the time, and will inturn a big money pit. If you maintain the car and drive the car like it was a grand ma you will have a long lasting car. It really depends on the force of your right foot.

Saw a 99 T/A that had 320k all highway on it on autotrader no too long ago. I test drove it and ran like my SS with 64k. Said he did all the regular items to maintain it and never had a problem!!
