How many miles does an LS1 motor last for? Posted By: Quijibow On: 01-03-2008 @ 12:27:48 Reply | Edit Hey guys! I'm looking at an '02 WS6 with 65xxx miles on it. How long do the LS1 motors last? Will I get more life out of the motor? Thanks for looking! Posted By: BlackScreaminMachine On: 06-03-2007 @ 13:36:42 Reply | Top | Edit depends on the matience of the car in general and the driving style of the owner, ask for records, ask questions if they did their own work etc etc. They can last a very long time. -- 2002 Navy Blue Metallic Trans-Am, 6 Speed, Leather, T-tops.

Posted By: Killer_BlueBird On: 08-08-2007 @ 10:10:56 Reply | Top | Edit 200,000 miles should be no problem with a well maintained engine. However most cars barely reach a 100,000 before the owner start having a serious ich to do bigger mods. that can decrease the life of the engine. Not to say that a modded engine will not last it is just that more likely you will find the weak links in the engine and end up finding a good excuse for a 402, 408 or 427 engine swap. --  [ Edited on 08/08/2007 @ 10:11:32 ] Posted By: hurley_21_07 On: 08-15-2007 @ 18:16:03 Reply | Top | Edit ^^WTF have you been?

If you get an LS1 car, you might wanna go get it dyno'd to see if the tune good. Bad tunes could decrease your engine life --
