Turbo Diesel Clutch Life

Question for those with 617 turbo engines and manual conversions.

I did a search but didn't find what I was looking for. What kind of clutch life are you getting, particularly with 3.07 differentials? I know the clutch in my donor car has about 50,000 miles behind the stock 616, and the original clutch lasted 192,000. I haven't measured anything yet, but I'm wondering if I can get some prediction of the remaining life if I use the old clutch disc behind my 617.
