The M119 engine is supposed to be excellent. Look to see records more with these cars than than with the M103/M104 cars because the repairs can be more costly and they are intrinsicly more subject to run into timing chain trouble. Wireing harness and AC problems are the big ticket items that are known to be problems, if they have not been done be wary. V8's tend to put on more stress related wear than 6's... because they can... another reason to look for records in whatever you buy.
Good luck.
