Is over 50k on these cars considered high miles? What is the life expectancy of the LS7 with reworked heads?

Like any small block Chevy, if they aren't driven 1/4 mile at a time and modded to death, they can probably go 200,000 miles with a proper level of care. There are some here with well over 100,000 miles.

45K on mine and climbing. Driven daily 60 miles a day, I fully expect to have 100K in two years or so. Other than budgeting for heads in the future when my warranty expires I expect no other issues, have had no issues.

Typical LS engine can live 250K miles with proper maintenance. GM builds and has built over the years some of the most durable drive trains in the industry.

As long as you have proper guide clearance and do the basic maintenance a few hundred thousand mikes is easy.

anything over two thousand miles for a corvette is too much. Leave it in the garage and it will be worth a million dollars next year. Just watch Barret Jackson.
