    We i used to build big HP engines, i would always select engines that had been sitting outside for years (302 & 351 Clevelands, Intech 6's, Buick V6, 250 Crossflow- Aussie engines).
    Would go out of my way to buy engines from down south (NSW, Tasmania etc) where it snows; these weathered engines once cleaned & built, never gave an issue as they had been "seasoned", never suffered cracked blocks or heads, never any leaking issues (even with 38psi+ of boost).

    I have an XJR6, and they are an absolute BUGGER to work on. At least in the car, there is zero access. All the fiddly bits are under the intercooler so you have to access from underneath. But you do get 4.0L, more than your standard Japanese straight 6. And when its working it goes like a train.
