How many miles in the engine?

Im currently thinking of buying a friend's 97 Expedition. Its got the 5.4 w\196,000 miles. How many more miles can I expect to get out of this engine?


Thanks

depending on how the truck was taken care of. a friend of mine has a 97 exped. with the 4.6 and 246000 miles and it still runs strong, has been maitnanced on time with the occasional late oil change (about 1500 miles over the 5000 mile oci).
