I would attribute at least part of the additional life to dry cylinder liners. In the 1970"s, in some areas of the country, 400 series motors were actually wearing through the outside of the sleeves well before the bores would wear out. The wet liners combined with the typical use of well water led to terrible cavitation erosion of the cylinder liners, especially with the engines running high cylinder pressures (turbos). The 361 had the sleeves placed right into the block, which keeps them away from the water and cavitation and keeps them from flexing under operation. But, it also leads to the rebuild problems. The 361 sleeves need to be pressed in. If they are a little too tight, they will deform, and then will wear out brand new piston rings and pistons very quickly. If they are rebuilt right, I am sure they last almost as long as the first lifetime.
