hey all! - getting back into an LS1 it appears, I am looking at buying a 99 T/A with 140,000 miles... any problems anyone foresee with this thing being dependable as a driver for awhile till I can build a new motor? as long as it runs good oil pressure, etc.?

thanks in advance for any help!

should be fine. mines gotta 184,xxx and with me drivin the shitout of for a year and a half it finally blew the head gaskets up. you should be alright man these motors go forever

 

thank you!
I realize there's no "for sure's" but it's nice to hear that they do go well, I love the body on these cars and the interior... now for the modding to begin, LOL.

 

If proper maintenance has been done along the way, these motors can do well long-term.

 

141k here and i only get it out to street race,150 shot sprayed throught it everytime it leaves the house.about to do h/c, so i wouldnt be worried if it dont smoke and has good oil pressue.

 

OK! done. love the car so far so good!

 

Yea like they said if the motor was maintained well it can last a good 200k

 

I got 116,600 on mine and it's a gem!!

 

Bought mine with 150,000 on the clock. No piston slap, knocking, etc.. runs like a raped ape. If it hasn't had routine maintenance done then do a full tune up on it.
