The timing belts are normal wear items. You could certainly get 60, 70, maybe 80k out of one. Not wise on the interference models....but entirely possible. The water pump is a 'while you're in there' job, so they're usually done at the same time. The entire procedure is a $400 DIY job.
I never really messed with many mopars because the prices were always so much higher, but i have definitely blown up my fair share of SBC motors.
