Installed my heads, cam, longtubes, fast92, and all supporting stuff (lifters, timing chain, ect.) at 58k miles. I dont think I will have any problems with getting over 100k miles. At 77k you have alot of life left in the motor, and if you are unsure then just do the mods and find an ls1 block and build it with a stock crank and forged pistons and rods and swap your parts to that block. Thats what im doing.

In my old 96 Camaro i put afr 225's, afr 224/228, and fast/nw 90/90 on a 160k mile stock shortblock. Made 630whp through a th400 3800 stall and a spooled 12bolt on 325/50/15 mt street radials. ran it for a entire season and made well over 30 10.0 passes. pulled the motor and put the shortblock in another car with stock 243's and a vindicator cam. still running with no problems.

You can definately still make big hp with a higher mileage stock shortblock. We recently had a customer make nearly 500rwhp with a higher mileage short-block & Precision Race Components 215 heads & the Tsunami camshaft!

The good thing about the PRC 215 heads is we can ship them with 59cc chambers & stock p/v clearance! As a result you dont have to mill the crap out of them to get the compression you need for larger camshafts. The end result is a healthy compression setup without needing to cut valve reliefs.

thanks man, yeah I realize I haven't been driving it a whole lot so I think i'm going to keep her in for now. I wasn't plannin on doing a new block was just looking into it, I really can't afford it on a college budget at all. It would be nice to have a forged 347 fully built though
, LS1 POWA!!!
