You do realize the LT1 was also used in the b-bodies right?

Think cop cars later turned taxis, I can assure you a LOT of those have more miles than that before retirement. I have a 227K mile Roadmaster wagon in my driveway, engine is still fine, compression is good yet.

Has it been rebuilt? I didn't see that anywhere.

So maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. Either way, thats ALOT of miles.

doesnt seem like too much.

Had plenty of cars personally eclipse 300K.

Alot of cars dont cause people dont take care of their ****.

Ive seen these motors with 150K pulled and you can still see the cross hatching in the cylinders. I dont see why with proper maintenance, these things couldnt go half a million.

i doubt it. with as many LT1 caprice taxis and police cars that used to be on the roads i bet there were some over 300k easily

Seriously, that car is no where near worth 3,250 if he has replaced all that already, it has a huge list of other issues.

I dunno about easily. 300k miles is a LOT for any car. That's a real rarity. I'd be willing to bet not one of us in here has known personally of an LT1 car with that many miles.

you have to take in to account the type of person that drives a LT1 transam as opposed to the type of person who drives a b-body LT1.

an Fbody transam is going to see way harder miles then that B-body is going to see. With that being said, i think the milage for that car is very impressive.

There was a thread years ago where a 250K+ LT1 still had the original opti. Now thats just nuts.

I assure you, my 95 9c1 LT1 was personally beat on by me hard, each, and every day for its SECOND 120K miles. Hard enough that I would have broken that tiny little pumpkin you have on the f-bodies. (we got the 8.5") I swapped out the original plug wires and original Opti at 205K miles as the plug wires were shot. Opti still worked fine, but I figured as long as I was in there... Car was also stolen at about 175K miles and raced until it would run no more. Both rear tires (of a 10K mile set) bald, one exploded, waterpump fried and coolent completely emptied, power-steering pump fried, They must have been running it awfully damn fast. Put on the new accessories, filled the radiator and it ran the next 30K miles without a hitch. Finally, at 238K miles (3K miles after I had to replace the original 4L60E), the passenger side cat-con clogged and I cracked a piston and spun a bearing. SOB would still start and idle (although it did not like it) and would actually move slowly under its own power. If my LSx engine takes half the beating of my LT1, I will be suprised and impressed.

I have also seen posts from a handful of people in the b-body forums that claim to have well over 300K miles on the original stuff.
