Does this car have the dreaded 350 motor, the one that likes to bend rods.

Nope! You have the durable inline 3.0 six.

Good article.

The 3.5's in the early 90's are the rod benders.

The 3.0's in 1986-1987 can develop cracked heads.

Cracked heads in the 86-87 engines are less common than bent rods in the 90's models.
