70k is like brand new! They hold up real good. My local PD has had 3-4 9C1 Caprices with over 50k on original long block.

mine is runnin good at 106k just finally started idling rough i think a opti change is needed soon as far as i know still the stock opti. Heads and cam full bolt ons coming soon along with six speed swap. lt1's hold up pretty good as long as you take care of them.

A shot of seafoam, and oil change should do the trick. The LT1 sounds like an awesome motor!
