We had over 180,000 on our '97 Chev Astro with the 4.3 Vortec V6, which as many know is essentially a Chevy 350 V8 with two cylinders cut off.

Towed with it, transported family all over...it put in 10 cold, hard winters...temps go down to 30 to 40 below here...winters last 5-5 1/2 months. All engine needed was one tune up during that time.
