They are all pretty reliable I have owned a 4.2 and only put points in it. Rb30 turbo and currently own a 4.8 gu. All good if you dont mind putting fuel in it! I have had water over bonnet on 4.2 and rb30 didnt worry them to much.

hope you like paying for fuel. the petrols are pretty thirsty. i'm in the process of changing my mav over to a diesel. was getting roughly 19l/100km on the highway, carb model, efi get a little bit better, which is very good (i look after it very well) expecting about 9-11l/100km out of a diesel. petrol's just need a wee bit more revs in the bush than a diesel. but both engines if looked after are extremely reliable
