what is high miles on a Ls1 How many miles is a lot for a Ls1 engine and how long can you race them on a 1/4 mile mine has 64,000 |
Not really any way to answer this. Mileage isn't the problem, it's wear. I engine with 50k miles could easily be in worse shape than a motor with 100K. Just depends on where/how it was driven, how it was maintained, was it ever sprayed or boosted, did someone tune it that didn't know what they were doing, etc.. |
64,000 is nothing as long as it wasn't beaten to death. Many people here have cars woth over 150k miles. |
My 01 SS has 130K and im about to install heads and cam |
My '98 Z28 has 160k+ miles and is all original and still runs strong! As long as it's not been abused and dogged without maintenance 60k miles definitely isn't something to scoff at! |
64k is well below average, and doesn't even come close to fitting in the "high mileage" category for a 10 year old car. |
Going off the 12,000 miles per year average my 160k miles is still a little short of average. :funny: |
I picked mine up with around 65k on it almost 5 years ago, and I'm at 117k now and she runs great. In fact, I'm just now thinking I want to get into some moreserious mods, with long tubes and a new torque converter. |
153k here... Daily driven. |
I pulled the 5.3L out of my yukon xl this winter due to a failing oil pump. The engine had 221,xxx miles on it. The cylinder walls still had cross hatches in them, I had the block honed and threw in a set of piston rings, lifters, oil pump, and timing chain. I REUSED :devil: the original rod and main bearings. They looked and mic'ed perfect. I have about 14,000 miles since the "rebuild" and have no doubt this truck will go 300,000 - 350,000 miles. These motors are beasts if you take care of them. |
lol, i have 54,xxx mile on mine now. If thats too many miles to get into it a couple times a month im in trouble.....lol. I think you'll be ok as long as the motor is healthy for a motor with 64,xxx miles on it. |
I have 108k on mine. Broke into 11s stock internal bolton only last year and doing heads and cam very soon. |
175k with some bolt ons and still running strong |
Im around the 99,800 mark right now. Im planning a cake at 100,000 to celebrate. |
147k here and cam sitting in my room for install at the end of the month. |
I just bought a 98 z28 with 177k miles "supposedly" engine was swapped a while back but idk I'm kinda new but any way to telling if it was swapped or not? |

my buddy has a 2001 ws6 with 160k he's been spraying it racing it for about a year now about to put a .609 lift cam and springs in it. if you do stuff right they will last its all in the tune |
64k is not high miles by any means, but it's been proven time and time again that higher mileage LS based motors 90k-100k+ are capable of taking some abuse. Just take a look into the Nitrous and Forced induction sections on here. I've seen quite a few guys pick up cheap, higher mileage, 5.3, 4.8, LS1, LQ4 shortblocks and spray or boost them to the moon and they're able to take the abuse quite well. |
Mine has 167k all stock supposedly rebuilt feels great good power! |
