my motor has 230 000 kms on it.
I am starting to worry about oil pressure though.

great thing about these cars is that if the frame is in good shape and there isn't a lot of rust, if the engine goes you just drop in another and drive, besides i had a lady who had hers at an outo show tell me she got 425,000 miles out of hers and when the engine went she dropped in a 351 windsor, and a tremec, and much more, the mustang will live on as long as you can properly maintain it.

had 178,000 on mine before the rebuild and she still ran strong. It did have a nasty rear main leak though.
