As long as you keep it maintenances then yeah keep modding it. You should be able to get 150k or 200k or maybe more from the motor. The transmissions seem to be the weak point though but with just bolt ons I wouldn't worry about it, just keep the fluid and filter changed regularly.

hell, why not go a little larger shot. that first 2 sec. down the track will be the fastest i will have ever gone, until my heads punch a hole through my hood and the tranny falls from the bottom of my truck. lol.
