Around 150k, changed to speedo to a 140mph unit, so I am not totally sure on mileage. Still strong as hell

91 had 124k on it when the crank walked, and snaped the nose of the crank in two.. (The engine was fully built however.)

My 94 has 198k on it, runs very strong, doesn't burn oil, mostly highway miles, new top end going on this year sometime. Couldn't ask for more.
