    Know of a bunch of there glider Detroit's not last much longer then 400,000 miles. But then again they started using old blocks even the 11.1's. No piston coolers, and building them for 500+ HP.

    In fact - go buck wild on it - it’s one of the cheapest engines to rebuild, and even at 700k miles, would probably see you through 5-7 years running solo miles.

    Throw a Borg Warner turbo and a Full tilt manifold at it while you’re there.

    I threw a BW on mine last year - with the manifold it made a huge power difference. Wasn’t aware of any problems over the OEM turbo.
