if a built engine is built with care and precision it can last with care..i have seen several last...yes if they are horse beaten with cold start raced at 9k rpm then shut down immediately just like any thing they wont last, a factory engine wont either...anyone can show built or stock engine failures...do it right, take care of it and it will last. I sold my built sr that I put 10k miles on it to a friend to dailies it with another 10k on it. I moved to the Subaru world where there are several posts about built motors going upwards of 150k...yes several do break before then but several do last...im currently at 140k on a stock block but I also take care of mine with frequent oil changes, don't launch my car, keep it at redline all the time, good cool down time etc. so measure everything. do research on how to measure it do it right and take care of it then enjoy the car!
