Default How many miles?

I was wondering how many miles have you guys got out of your engines. Im wondering if i should start saving for a new one now. I just broke the 100,000 miles mark.

i know of some stangs with over 200,000 on the clock and running fine, but then again im sure there are some that have given up sooner.

u just got through the break in period imo. engines last a long time these days (as long as you take care of it and don't abuse it). my dad had 250,000 on his old 95 f-150 truck and had no major break downs or problems. just normal maintenance.

oh! i dunno about that! ive been told i should be careful. maybe less than 100 shot. or replace a few key parts first like heads, manifold, cams, fuel injectors/pump. just dont be too hard on her or spray too much
