Re: How many miles on your LT1?

Brother just sold his 95 T/A a couple of months ago with 275,000 miles on it!!! Never touched the opti, fuel pump, alt., starter, and waterpump! He got it with 67,000 miles on it in 1999. It was unbelievable and unreal. Sucked working on mine while he just kept on driving!

Re: How many miles on your LT1?

yep, 94 z28, with about 95k miles on it. Runs awesome! All of chevy's small blocks last a long time. Last car was a 92 RS with the 305 with 150k and it ran strong until it got totaled! Engine still ran perfect!

Re: How many miles on your LT1?

My 93 has 39,175 with a brand spankin new opti, water pump, wires, plugs etc.

These motors are pretty strong, I honestly believe it should reach 40,000 with no mechanical problems, my back is another story!

If you see a red Z28 with NY plates Florence KY next week give me a wave

Re: How many miles on your LT1?

Just turned over to 117,000 and running great. At about 92,000 miles I had to replace the waterpump and opti but since then she has run like a top.

Re: How many miles on your LT1?

123K and counting. Fuel pump and water pump replaced, I'm assuming I have the original Opti since I bought the car used with 62K. But recently she has started to hesitate past 5K rpm and it idles a little rougher; either my Bosch +4's are junk or the Opti is about to give up the ghost. TR55's and Delteq are next on my to do list.

Re: How many miles on your LT1?

Bought mine totally stock in 10/99 with 59k on it. I have since rebuilt the motor and trans because they broke(!). Now it has has almost 84k on it and wouldn't trust it to get me to work. This car has been towed home 8 times in 3 yrs.

Re: How many miles on your LT1?

I got 113k on mine and it runs smooth. I did some maintainance just to be sure and it runs a lot smoother.

That sucks. Mine has almost twice the mileage and hasnt given me a problem in the last 1 1/2 years(aside from a defective Mcleod Clutch, which wasnt its fault).
