Dale Jr 123 If you use it as a normal daily driver but get on it once in a while you should be fine as long as you do the proper routine maintenance. Just follow the owners manual for the regular maintenance intervals and keep your fluids fresh and full.

I've got over 187,000 miles on mine and I'm putting a Centrifugal Supercharger on it this year.

Keep up with routine maintenance, and the engine will be good to you.

60K is nothing on that car. You should easily be able to hit 200K.

60,000 miles is nothing. The 3800 series II engine is a very reliable engine. If you're adding power, I'd be more concerned about the transmission. But your car has the beefier transmission in it because of the factory supercharger.

You just gave me a new goal... Mine has 267k

Its also on the second engine/ trans.. But dont getdiscouraged. I wasunaware of the intake leaking and it overheated the old engine. The trans just didnt have fourth gear... Now it does.

I'll have to go look to be exact. But it's around 75,000 kilometers. (I'm in Canada) Don't know the conversion at the moment. Sorry.
