Re: how many miles is too much?

Almost all of my turbo/nitrous LS' that I've built have been 100-150k mile motors.

My jet boat 6.0 was a 135k mile motor, and I ran it for miles and miles at WOT...did that swap 6 years ago and it's still running.

Don't be afraid of miles on an LS. Ultimately, you'd be best off with an engine that was running when taken out, and NOT "taken apart for inspection" or any of that nonsense.
