Just curious how many LT1 F-bodies out there have 100k and over on the clock????


oh yeah.......and what are you guys runnin at the track?? (include short mod list too)..........just wonderin how healthy these motors can be at 100k+

 

181,000 with stock everything, including the opti

Some other people have 180K too, and I remember someone else having 250,000 with a stock opti. These motors last, they don't crap out like a lot of people think. It kind of is sad when people say they want to rebuild a perfectly healthy motor, just because it has 100,000 on it. I say, if you are not doing any mods, don't rebuild until you have to. Don't fix it if it ain't broken.

 

102,000 miles in a 95 z A4--->M6 conversion with intake, 3 in. catback, 4.10's, a tune from Ion at madz28, and all the free mods. Haven't had it at the track but I bought it with 78,000 miles and it still pulls just as strong now as it did when I bought it. The only major problem I've had is a broken timing chain. Might consider upgrading the timing chain to avoid the risk of breaking the stock junker.

 

ya, mine just turned over to 98k........pulls harder than when i bought it, perfectly healthy sounding a feeling, however a compresion test will tell the truth in a couple weeks.

and yes i am on stock everything as well.......well almost stock LOL (except a new water pump, just because).......and i have NO plans of doing a rebuild anytime soon..........i agree with MYshibbyZ28. Dont fix it if it ain't broke.

oh yes and i do agree, these motors can LAST if u take care of them, just wondering what luck other people have had..........i have a friend that is just the same except with 270k on a 95z and last time i raced him, he pulled me like a raped ape (that was before LT's, ORY, tune, and some other stuff)....but he has all that and a cam and RR's.......so i still think hes got me......

 

108k on the clock, mods in the sig, running very strong, no smoke, no drips. Shame i'm taking the motor out to install a new 383

 

I got 113,000 on mine. It hit the 100K mark 4 years ago.

 

120k - times in sig.

Short list of mods:
full bolt ons
small gtp 4 cam
stock heads
stock bottom end
7lb blower

Installed the cam around 80-90k
blower about 10k ago
Full mod list @ cardomain

 

196,000, stock bottom end and stock opti...

Unfortunately stock everything else as well Aside from my e-cutout.

That's fine though, I got in trouble for street racing so I think I'm going to forget about engine mods and go for suspension to compete in auto-cross.

 

Too much noise, popo probably heard you right?

Just messing with you.

 

umm, 156k miles

i put 25k on in one year, and they were hard miles, with about 10k with N20

best time is a 13.4 @ 106 with a cutout, opened stock airbox and msd 6al.

Then I blew a head gasket, and to my suprise when the heads came off the stiching in the cylinder walls was still very visable with no carbon anywhere. But due to a bad aftermarket RR that broke at the roller tip it spun a bearing after the aluminum shavings got into the oil.

 

124k on stock bottom end. just replaced stock opti cause i did a cam swap and figured why not.

 

161k All original internals, the valve covers have not come off yet!!! Do have a dynaspark dist. and new water pump though. Only bolt on mods, CAI Random tech cat, flowmaster 80 series, mallory 6al, tb airfoil, and 1le elbow.

 

the 94 6 spd in the sig has 208,000 but now is a 355/head/cam car
the 94 auto has 135,000...muffler/intake/no times but quick for an auto with 2.73s
i also have a 96 trans am with 180,000...it has 4.10s/muffler/tune/...id put this up against most stock to bolt on cars...one true factory freak

 

I have 125k miles.

Before I converted to a 6-speed, my auto ran 13.7 @ 103 with a 2.5 sixty foot time (smoking the tires off the line)

 

107,XXX here. Everything is stock.
