Do a compression check and a leakdown test and that will give you your answer.

If compression and leakdown numbers look good, go for it. My brother boosted his 94 LS with 180 thousand on the clock, drove it boosted for another 25K boosted without issue. When we tore it down it still had good compression and oil pressure, but we threw some new pistons and rods in it along with a VTEC head, I think the chassis has in the neighbourhood of 235 thousand miles on it now. These are very, very stout motors, as long as you take good care of them they'll last a long time.
