A little history. Once the lead was removed from gasoline and PCV's and EGR's were mandated, vehicles started racking up 200,000 miles on a common basis. If you go back to the petroleum engineering research of the 50's and 60's the papers concluded that reducing emissions will lead to longer motor life because the motor oil would remain cleaner.

One of the reason's mandated emissions controls on vehicles was not unconstitutional capture was because the consumer would benefit with lower operating costs due to cleaner combustion.

Thus, using a TBI on a carbureted engine should result in longer life providing a PCV and EGR are added as well.
