probably depends on what "they" mean by haywire.. I pulled my 318 at
235,000 miles because I got a good deal on a lesser mileage 360 that fit in
rather nicely. It was running fine, but not as strong as it did when it
was new.
And I have a lot of miles towing #5000 cross country.
Only engine work was the rear main seal and fwiw - I still have the
original alternator and ball joints.
