200k miles

I just hit 200,000 miles in my 1990 rs camaro and it still has the stock 305 and trans never had any major break downs since i got her over 3 years ago but when she goes she will get a new 350


How many miles do you guys have on your stock engines ?

Re: 200k miles

Had just alittle over 300kon my original 2.8. Then it started to knock after a seafoam treatment lol. So I got a new 2.8 from a 93 s10 and completely rebuilt it

seafoam did the same thing to my 305 coincidently. I still live by it though.

Re: 200k miles

Mine says 200k on the speedo, the motor only has 10k. Girlfriends daily 91 RS odometer stopped at 204k, no idea how long ago.

My intake gaskets went bad after using seafoam. Anyhow my formula is a baby with 60k on it, however the former Camaro 305 Tbi and 700r4 in my s10 has 208k on it with no problems other than replacing intake gaskets and valve seals.

Re: 200k miles

My speedo reads 217,xxx. Replaced the ICM recently, other than that she runs beautiful! Needs interior work though.
