What ever gave you that idea?   An engine's lifespane is directly related 
to its use, and maintenance.   While some racy guys like to 'freshen' their 
motors every few years, a street-driven stroker should easily do 100K 
miles--just like any other pushrod Ford V8--as long as the oil is changed 
periodically, it isn't overheated, etc.
