Shouldn't you be able to tell by comparing the VIN on the head or block with the one on the chassis?

I will say that my 617 with 363K sounds better than the one in Johnhef's wagon, and that one only has ~250K. I suspect that with most 617's that are still around, the level of care provided to the engine over it's life can (important qualifier!) matter more than the mileage. Well, once you ignore the freaks with <100K
