These late
Model 302s are tough and generally people seem to take care of them. Most of the ones I open look like this, very little signs of wear internally and very little carbon. Every once in a while you get what I call a “castor oil” or “pennsoil” engine lol…. With lots of carbon buildup and some sludge but still generally very little signs of wear on the hard parts… good crosshatching no raised ridges and good clean smooth cam and crank bearings. Almost all of the 5.0 I work on are well over 150k miles.
Nothing against castor oil or pennzoil dudes lol I’m just a big fan of Mobil and valvoline
