expect to get mixed reviews. as with nearly any other engine....the heavier the mods the less reliable or maintenance hungry they tend to become. if its built correctly.....bigger studs, etc., it should last a while. bigger motor will run hotter so you'll need to address that to increase longevity. others here who have ran such a set up can give you first hand knowledge........
