From what I've read in several mags and forums, its a pretty bada** engine. If you're planning on doing any mods to it, head studs are definitely the first on your list. I know they have a some what bad rep because of the gaskets failing, but that usually happens when the owners don't fix the head studs before they do anything to the engine.
