Got one in one of my wagons at 228K no problems. Now before you dismiss wagon life as an easy one consider 4672lbs base curb weight 2.93s, 28" tires and a 5000lbs tow rating. Last compression check was back around 185K and still read around 200psi not bad for a 10:1 iron headed motor.
A friend has a cammed former police car Caprice something over 170K on it and the cam has been in 2 years, imagine the idling hours on a squad car motor. Runs well too within .1 of a Golen stroker when we went to a big national event and did so through closed exahust, no lightening, big driver and on 87 octane.
LT1 is a solid motor and the ring seal will last a LONG time, the bearings are a greater concern and rpms are usually the death of them, even then it is more likely rodbolt stretch that kills them rather than the bearings themselves being culprit.

i had a 93 with a 194k on it, it ran like a champ. then i sold it to a local girl over 2 years ago, i still see it at least once a week running around. my friend had a 95 with 213k on it and it ran strong as ever, that is before some lady ran a stop light and totaled it. the 93 i have right now has 140k on it and i have plans on spraying it in the near future, as long as you take care of them they will take care of you.
