If you change oil and replace your oil pump regularly (at least every 150,000 - 200,000 miles), it should easily last to 500,000 miles.

I procrastinated on replacing my oil pump and I needed to replace my engine at 230,000 miles.

Yup. Escpecially with an SVX. Lots of peices held in place with rubber gaskets. They need to be removed in order to keep paint from lifting when the rubber expands/contracts.

All the lower body cladding, Mirrors, Door Handles, Sunroof, Quarter trim, and of course, lights.
