My 82 had 258k when I bought it; I'm up to 286k now, and it still runs
fine.  Even so, I might not have bought it if I'd realized the mileage
was that high (the guy I bought it from said it had 225k on it, so when I
looked at the odometer and the first two numbers were "25", I thought,
"ok it's rolled over a couple of times and is at 225."  I should have
realized it was a 6-digit, but...).  But if you're concerned about it,
just install the other motor and then give the first one to me.  :)
