Am I mistaken in thinking it would prolong life on a street car?

The engine should produce around 300+/- HP and apx. 350 TQ, I drive with mechanical sympathy, but I'd like as much strength as practical to back it up. I don't drag race, and I'm not prone to hooning.

Yeah, always a concern, but I'm crossing my fingers, the car it came from was totaled at about 70K miles due to a tree falling on it. (I saw the car being parted when I picked the box up) Probably should have mentioned that... but of course, all bets are off with used parts. Most of the parts won't be ordered until the box has been opened up and inspected by the rebuilder.
