My 91's got 71,000 and the motor is running great. Although we just got done with a complete rebuild 400 miles ago. The motor up to that point was in great condition with only a 150 shot of juice and dual exhausts. I will let you know how long this rebuild last and if the new combo of parts is worth looking at.

140K with the mods in signature
Complete rear end setup coming in a few weeks
Awesome how does it run? Any thing you have to replace that wasnt a performance upgrade?
Umm, I replaced the water pump, the A/C, and the clutch. Not too many problems, but the last two I just mentioned were expensive [:@]

90k with 3.55's, HP Stage 1 Turbo kit, Snow Performance Water/Meth injection. Running about 9-10 PSI, havent had any real problems yet. Only get about 16mpg if i drive normal. Some head gasket problems when I first put the turbo kit on, but thats pretty taken care of. 95 ECU's aren't really turbo friendly, but the engines still running strong.

I have a 5.0 from one of my company's work trucks. It ran fine when the truck was run into and totalled by a drunk.
It had over 170K on it and still has no ridge at the top of the cylinders or anything that I'd call real wear.
had just a mininum of regular maintance too.
It'll be a 347 in it's next life.......
