User Name Remember Me? Any one seen or owned a ls1 4th gen that had over k miles? I'm torn between the two, both run and drive but I like the potential of the ls1 car when the engine finally gives way. Just wondering if a ls1 has the potential to go past k and if anyone has actually seen it. I'm a poor bastard until the wife gets out of nursing school in the next few months. Sounds almost too good to be true unless it is a basket case.

Its not a perfect car by any means, it needs the seats re-holstered, a front bumper cover and paint. Needs a little tlc. Yo're better off with the LS My brothers lasted until k and it only broke because of a few shifts Mine has K miles on it I admit that I probably have a non-typical high mileage motor but I have seen people mention other high mileage LS1's out there still kicking ass. My initial plan was to put a cam in this motor and see how long it goes but you know how the mod bug goes.

Start off with just one part and next thing you know it turns in to a full on re-build I wouldn't hesitate to jump in my car right now and take it on a long road trip. I've never worried about the reliability of it. Thanks for all the input. I was actually curious about this myself.. I don't own an LS1 but I'll be looking for a good, stock f-body in the near future There is a guy on the Corvette Forum with , miles on his 99 Corvette!!

Engine is still original, although I believe he mentioned he had the lifters replaced around k. Well over k. If you plan on doing a Cam clean everything really well when you do the cam swap. Replace the Timing chain with the new cam.
