I know for a fact the franken k series is just as reliable as an s54. we've ran that for years in all of our race cars and rally cars and the parts are cheap and plentiful.
an s54 costs more money to maintain or even to bulletproof in stock form than a K series.
but regardless of all of this back and forth you'll never get the weight and weight distribution of the inline 4 over the inline 6. maybe distribution with money and weight penalty. anyone whose driven both (power aside) will prefer the nimbleness of the 4cyl. just look at all the room for activities in the engine bay with the k series in there
