Life Expectancy of your Engine?

Just curious. What are your expectations of your high performance engine? I have a 351W stroker (408) that was built by a Superformance dealer in Ohio. It has all the right stuff in it. I maintain it properly, use only Brad Penn oil, warm it up thoroughly before gettin' on it and usually keep it below 5K RPM. I have 14,000 miles on the car and expect that the motor will last much, much longer. I have very little experience with this type of motor and would like some opinions on how long you think a motor like this should last.

Happy holidays
