My 3.1 V6 was still going strong when I sold my third gen at 255k, so I'd imagine an unabused LS1 could easily handle that as well.

I have a friend with a 98 Z28 with close to 400,000 mi. All he has ever done is change a water pump, rear axle bearings, belts, radiator hoses,and spark plugs & wires. Oh, forgot to put oil (obviously). It's totally bone stock and I wouldn't have got my ride if it wasn't for his recommendation. LS1 & LT1 run strong if treated right He still puts down 310whp/321wtq.
