185,000 miles!
Hi everyone, ihave a new question, i have a 91 firebird with 185,000 miles on it. other than the typical oil change and tuneup...what can i do to ensure the engine lasts me. and also how much might an engine rebuild be?

A 3.4 swap would be a much better choice than a rebuild. You can do a search on here to find out a cost estimate, there's plenty of infor for it. As far as making it last...don't hotrod it and wear down the engine, give it full tune-ups as described in the TomP tune up, and check into every little thing that you think isn't quite right.
