my friend had one with tons of bolt ons, aluminum heads, e303 cam and more. it had 277,000 miles on it when he totaled the car and it didnt burn a drop of oil. he took good care of it. when they took the motor apart- it still had the factory hone marks in the bores

this is an impossible question, if you took enough care of it and drove it right and ****, you can prob get 500,000 miles

and you could be a bit more specific than just putting ???????????? in ur thread,
u could mean gas milage or engine mileage theres many options buddy
