How many miles are these motors usually good for when well maintained?

Well maintained 79 van went 74,000 miles. Cam rounded off, burned oil
& fouled plugs, rod bearings to base metal, cracked rocker arm, push
rods worn into head, cam chain shot, pure junk! I rebuilt it
completely, using good parts this time, and it has run well ever
since. Bought new and still have it.
