Many racers don't realize how long a big block can last. Back in the day I worked in Amish country. They used to build a lot of those back yard barns, the company I worked for a company that oversaw the maintenance on the "barn haulers" which were one ton duellies with 454's in them. The company had a policy 250,000 miles and swap out to a new engine. I can not remember any not making it to 250k and I remember the waiting list from us mechanics to get the removed engines. Since they bought new GM engines there was no core required. Most of the guys had at least one car with a 454 in it. LOL
