I don't think so. Everything can go wrong and many times does...particularly on a Nikasil V8 car. In spite of being down a few horsepower, I much prefer the big six. My now 14 year old car has been pretty much rebuilt front to back excluding trans and diff....so say there is plenty of opportunity for things to be fixed that can go wrong as attested to my most on the board that have done same with their aging E-34's..even at well under 200k miles.
And Jeff, thanks for the compliment. It is wide grills are an acquired taste.
