Depends on what kind of use those 75k or 80k miles saw. If the car was well cared for and not beaten on daily, should be no problem. First good place to check is your oil level. If you have no change in oil level between oil changes, you're probably in good shape; these motors are very well sealed up when in good condition. Second thing to check is oil pressure. Stock gauge should read just over 1/2 way to full scale when the oil is hot and show almost no change from idle to running at speed.

I'm running a Whipple 2.3 with 3" upper pulley that was installed at 74,xxx miles. Just broke 88,000 and no problems whatsoever.
