Default LS1 Longevity - How long until it broke?

I'd like to see how the LS1 is performing in longevity. Everyone talks about how they run and run forever, but I have run old small blocks forever also.

If you broke, something major that required engine work, not like losing a coil or broke the serpentine belt, use the part about breaking.

If you have just put on miles and still haven't broken, then put in the miles you have gotten to without breaking.

Thanks.

That is impressive. Typically I have run old small blocks to 200k, but I don't think I have seen a 300k small block. I was trying to get some of this in one area so it can be found easier in searches later on. I did a search, and found one person, then another thread to find another, and another thread to find still another. I just wanted them in one place.
