Unreliable from the mouth of the guys who helped design it-
and to boot- they are no longer activly makeing parts for it- so- a new motor will set you back around $16K
Also the Yamaha V6 can be made to have 500 + HP N/A with a set of wicked cams- it has the bottom end strength a duratec family engine could dream of!
oh and where did it come from?- its a duratec V6 with two extra cylinders- its also a 60 deg. V8 - very rare
