180000 km is it possible for l98 not rebuilt engine!!

I am looking to buy trans-am gta 89 with l98 and the man who sell the car said to my that the engine has never be rebuilt. There is no smoke, no vibration (maybe a very little sometime) and no strange sound from the engine.

Finally, is it easy to spin tire just with gas pedal when the car is immobile.

p.s. the combo is l98 with dual cat(N10), 700r-4, 3.27 and stock.

thanks

Please, need answer rapidly

sure high milage engines in good shape are possiable. my cousin has 2 buicks with over 250,000 each, runs castrol synthetic oil in both. neither smoke or have a noticable lose of power. a l98 should light the tires up easily by stompping the gas.

what about the length of asphalt mark?

This is just to give me an idea of the health of the engine.

Yup, the car will run very well, as along as the thing was looked after. My L89 GTA has 149 000 km, and is a real strong runner. No burnt oil, or anything.

Check out my web site!

Later,
Joe
