Nope. Pretty good motor overall.

How many miles? Timing chains are the only real items that tend to fail after 100,000 miles.

Lots of guys here have +200,000 miles on them if they are taken care of.

Probably one of the most solid engines of the FE gang...Treat it right and it will probably last longer than you!! Russ

I think the 352 and 360 are the most relaible of the FE's. Before I rebuilt mine it was run out of oil 4 times, alwasy low on oil, no mantience pefroemd at all it was really abused and it ran pretty good despite all that. Let it warm up a little before flooring it, change the oil every now and then, put a new air cleaner on every now and then and dont run it out of oil and it will just keep purring and beating chevys.
