if it's been treated well and you don't run it hard it should last a long time yet.

i have an 86 305 in a pickup that had 250k on it whne i installed it. i rolled bearings and a timing chain in it at that time and have run it another 100k. it uses about 2 qts of oil per 3k miles and alot of that is running thru the valve guides.

if it runs good joe, and it's what you want ,buy it. from what i saw on the price it's cheap enough that you can put an engine in it and still be ok money wise.
