From a logical stand point, there is no design that could be simplier and less stress on components than having cylinders firing in unison...vertically. Rather than being in a "V", the design is very basic. All inline-6 engines are very reliable and very long life expectancy (namely, the Chrysler/Jeep Inline-6 found in the Wranglers and Cherokees).

Shouldn't matter though...those engines are so damn strong.

Inline 6'* a freakin torque monsters.....That'* why Semi'* have in line 6 diesels and a lot of heavy equipment does too.....Sure they're 12 liter motors....but producing over 1200 lb/ft with only like 400 hp in most cases. I think that would be sufficent to plow the lil **** snows that we get.....
