215,000 miles on the TBI 305 before I swapped in a 350.Still ran really good, just wanted more power.
I bought the car new in 92 with 11.2 miles on it.
305 still in such good shape, I think replace the rings and bearings and put it in my 91 S10 Blazer.
I think the Synthetic oil helped.

I have just past 224,000 miles on my all original 305 LG-4, 1986 IROC.

Engine now getting a little puffy on the start up, but still running damn strong and beating anything in my class without mods.

And if I catch you on the freeway, .... don't worry I'l wave as I go by :nono:

My 305 iroc has 194,000 miles on it and is my daily driver and I have a pretty heavy foot. I hope this bad boy can take a lickin' and keep on tickin'. Had i known i was going to buy the car from my best friends girlfriend I probably wouldn't have been so quick to tell him to race and do donuts and burnouts and things like that. He put a good beating on the car.

Just turned 226000 on my 90 RS original engine and tranny still runs great. If anyone ever had a doubt that chevrolet knows how to build cars, just tell them to stop by here and have a look. I couldn't even get 150000 outta a jap rocket without throwing both engine and tranny on the same run. I wouldn't take anything for my 90 model,.......except maybe my 92 Z28
