This is such ancient info. And I actually think it's wrong - it's 98 through early 99 that have the porous block issues. But whatever the dates, any car now with some miles on it is not going to be one of the bad blocks.
I'd say suriving early 2.5s with their double-row bearing and very unstressed nature (modest output, relatively thick cylinder walls) are about as solid as M96 cars come. Which isn't very solid, but it's all relative.
There are lots of early 2.5s on this forum with pretty big miles.
