I have about 126,000 on my '95 GT. I'm getting to the point of replacing parts that broke instead of modifying and putting toys on. How long will a maintained engine last? The biggest things I've had to replace are the smog pump and clutch. I am leaking some oil where the rear main seal is though. Can't wait to fix that one.

My 84 that I currently own shows 93xxx on it but it has to be 193xxx - at least on the body. May not be the original motor. Due to the lack of brakes and a wiring problem somewhere it sitting here :mad:

But in the 15 minutes I had it running, it felt very strong for an engine with so many miles.

My 87 had somewhere aroudn 110k when I got rid of it, had the original engine, and ran a 14.11@99 stock. T5 of course.

my stang has 87,000 miles on it and it runs great, but has also suffered some tedious problems. I had to replace the water pump, thermostat, e-brake cable, ball joint, front tie rods, and I have to get a new smog pump also. Is it common for these parts to go with only 87,000 miles? I have only had the car for about 6 months.

My Ex Brother In Law had a 92 GT with Equal Length Headers, Accel Wires, H-pipe, Flowmasters and stock other than that and about a year ago he sold it with 115,000 miles on it and the only problem hes had with it was the 1st week he had it with only a couple of hundred miles (He got it brand new for a grad. present) the clutch went out and the Ford dealership replaced with a H.D. Clutch from FRPP, and he never had another clutch problem or anything halfway major go wrong with it except for Burnt Plug wires due to the headers. It seems like 5.0 and also the majority 4.6's I see run good with high mileage. The main key is making sure you keep it maintanced well, all fluids and tune up areas.
