well my 305 TBI might not run with the big dogs, but does it have more endurance?

how many miles can a 350 go? I'm thinking of using a 2 bolt Caprice shrotblock. will it go 200k easily?
thanks

depends how u treat it dude. i read on some board a while back about guy's(or girls) corvette's... a few of them had over 250k on the orig. engine & tranny, just because they took extremely good care of them

 

I was talking to a guy last week that had over 400k on a 350.

 

I will concur with the others and I have seen many a 350 go well over 200K (mine is getting close that). The secret to having a motor last a long time is frequent oil changes, using good quality oil (I have Mobil 1 right after I broke my motor in), doing a good warm up when you first start the engine and not rat bagging the **** out of it.

While I wouldn't say my engine has been babied or ***** footed, I don't beat the snot out of it either.

 

Well I'll be, I can say **** but I can't say p*ssy?

Monkie, is that WITHOUT a rebuild of any kind? If so, that WOULD be some kind of record.

 

Monkie, if you are talking about the 92' camaro, that would be 110K miles per year.
That's over 9100 miles every month for 9 years. Dude somebody did some hella' driving and took extreamly good care of that ride....Amazing
