'94 Chevy Astro

I have a '94 Astro van that has been converted into a motorhome (Tiger by Provan). It has the 4.3 V6 engine and I was wondering what the normal engine life expectancy is for one of these puppies. I currently have 95,000 miles on it.

unfortuanatly there is no way to really tell you how long your engine may last it could blow up tommorow or go another 100 thousand miles, getting 300thousand out of one without any major engine work while possible sometimes, it is not a realistic figure, and if you was to figure an average I would guess between 150 and 200 thousand miles is a decent lifespan for the 4.3 while keeping up with maintence may have alot to do with longevity of the engine all engines will eventually be in need of repair, if the vehicles life outlasts the engine.
