engine replacement, but how far can it go?

dont get me wrong. My question is if i replace the engine how long is the chassis gonna last. i know it might sound dumb but wont it start to flex more and more? or will in crack eventually? If getting to the point of a new tranny, engine and the works and i have 350k on the clock should i expect anything else to go? there isnt much left that can go.how far can i go? u know? A thanks to all my bro's

Err so you just wanna know if the chassis/body of the car will last?

That'll last a hundred years man. There's model T's running around on original body/frame. lol

Very True, that should be one of the last things to think about. As long as the frame is not bent or anything you should have nothing to worry about. 350k WOW
