Definitely a nice engine but you can pick up complete cars with all the stuff needed to get it running (ecu, engine loom etc) for less.

From what I've heard, they have a problem with cooling such that the 4 rear most (2 per bank) don't get warm enough after starting and hence they tend to oil up/foul up and the result is that most people with these engines end up driving around with a V8 anyway.
