I believe it's all in how these engine are cared for and proper maintenance done at the proper times.

So true Gary!
I bought a 76 impala with a 350. One owner.
Had 180000 miles on the motor.
Guy I bought it from had the bills to prove he changed the oil every 1000 miles. That motor was amazingly clean inside.
The motor was good, body not.
He got rear ended. Rear bumper pushed right up to the back window.
