I'd expect it to last almost as long as a new stock engine, if driven the same. But since it's a streetport, I doubt you'll be driving it how people drive their stock cars. I'd give it 100K miles though.

The way some people drive, it could be a lot less! Which is also true of any engine, esspecially if it is modified to increase performance.
